Housing and Homelessness Resources

The Los Angeles Department of Aging does not maintain housing facilities, but we work with local organizations and government agencies to provide housing and homeless resources.

Los Angeles Housing Department

Home Modification Program

Income limits apply. Emergency repairs that directly affect the health and safety of occupants are also provided to other homeowners if their income does not exceed the limits, regardless of age or disability status.

Affordable Living for the Aging

Provides affordable housing, supportive services, and alternative housing options for low-income and formerly homeless older adults. Housing Providers can join the program to share their homes with compatible, pre-screened Housing Seekers who can pay monthly rent for available rooms, offer assistance with household chores, or both. Housing Seekers are adults of all ages who may not wish to live alone or cannot afford to do so. They must be mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially self-sufficient. The organization will screen providers and seekers, match compatibility, and execute living agreements.
