PATH

PATH works to end homelessness for individuals, families, and communities across California. Its approach combines supportive services with the development of affordable, supportive, and interim housing, helping people move from homelessness toward stable housing and long-term independence.

Founded in 1983 after a community response led by Claire and Rev. Charles Orr, PATH began by distributing food and clothing to people living on the streets. The organization later adopted Housing First principles, connecting people with permanent housing alongside supportive services. PATH provides outreach, housing navigation, case management, and housing-related support in communities including Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Santa Clara counties.
