Just in Reach
Los Angeles, CA
Our Just in Reach campus works in coordination with the Department of Health Services. It is a provider for Jail in Reach which offers a combination of permanent housing and health services. It is tailored to homeless individuals suffering from psychiatric conditions, substance abuse issues, and chronic medical problems.
By providing these services, court costs, policing costs, and emergency room costs are greatly reduced and individuals receive the help they need to break the cycle of homelessness.
Just in Reach connects people to healthcare, education, job readiness, and employment services.
“In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.”
Thurgood Marshall
A Student’s Story
“From the age of 14-53, being in and out of jail and doing every drug on the menu, I’m here today at 57, to tell you I broke the cycle of being houseless, incarcerated, suffering from drug addiction and mental illness to a man with responsibilities, on tract to prosperity. Coming from nothing, to becoming something. Just in Reach gave me a chance to live a new life, the rest was up to me.”
“Building and enhancing communities through permanently housing one returning citizen at a time.”
- Alan Richards
Just In Reach Project Director
