Organization Description: (Permanent Affordable Housing Non-profit)

Urban Quality Living is a non-profit organization dedicated to working with our homeless population in LA facing barriers to education, employment, and mental & health care services; due to affordability/lack of the resources to acquire housing in their communities.

Our mission is to impact our homeless clients and empower them for success.

We do this through active engagement and participation of our homeless clients seeking to come indoors, supported by our housing First approach with care and wrap-around supportive services.

Urban Quality Living re-integrates a homeless person/family back as active stakeholders in their community through educational and employment support services. We foster an environment that allows for self-determination, sufficiency, financial discipline, and independence as a practical path out of homelessness.
