Mayor's Fund's Eviction-prevention Program Receives $2.8 Million Investment from Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation and Health Net
LOS ANGELES, April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Recognizing the importance of preventing evictions in overcoming Los Angeles's homelessness crisis, The Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation has donated $1.5 million and Health Net $1.3 million to support the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles' We Are LA program. We Are LA connects people at risk of eviction to every resource available to them to help them maintain stable housing.
- The two organizations join L.A. Care Health Plan, which made previous investments totaling $1.8 million, as the program's biggest donors.
- L.A. Care's early support was critical for getting the We Are LA program off the ground and establishing its success.
- "Earlier this year, L.A. Care Health Plan made a generous donation to the Mayor's Fund for this important effort and now I want to commend The Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation and Health Net for taking this courageous step and joining this effort.
- Moreover, homelessness significantly undermines preventive health measures and exacerbates existing health issues," said Martha Santana-Chin, President of Medi-Cal and Medicare at Health Net.
