ORGANIZATION: Affordable Living for the Aging

  • 3 people are interested

Affordable Living for the Aging’s Shared Housing Program is looking for a creative graphic designer to help us design a few marketing materials. Don’t worry we’ll provide all the copy. We just need your design skills to help bring it to life.

Our program is completely free to seniors and serves the Los Angeles community in two essential ways:

  • We connect older renters to safe, affordable rooms.

  • We help senior homeowners find compatible roommates to share their homes and ease financial stress.

As part of our new LA Wildfire Initiative, we’ll also be connecting older adults to additional services that support their safety, housing, and well-being.

We’re looking for help designing materials that clearly communicate this mission to our community.

If you’re passionate about using your creative skills to support older adults and improve housing access in LA, we’d love to collaborate with you!

About Affordable Living for the Aging

Mission Statement

ALA is a BIPOC-led nonprofit currently serving high-acuity individuals in Los Angeles. ALA’s mission is to reduce disparities and promote housing and health equity by enabling access to housing and health services for disadvantaged populations. ALA provides intensive case management, permanent affordable housing, supportive housing, shared housing, and access to community resources. We envision a community where all individuals - regardless of age, race, or socioeconomic status - have access to affordable healthcare, housing, and a network of supportive services.

Description

In 1978, ALA founder Janet Witkin was caring for her grandfather who was becoming frailer and more isolated with age. She was struck with the inadequacy of his options: he could remain alone at home with little support or move to an institution where he’d forfeit his independence. Her predicament inspired Janet to create a Shared Housing program to match seniors needing support with low-income housing seekers, the first of its kind in Los Angeles. Since its inception, ALA has matched a total of 2400 seniors through its Shared Housing program which has been a successful alternative to traditional affordable housing, especially for seniors, those facing housing instability, and single low-income renters.
