Skid Row Housing Trust’s philosophy is simple: Homes. Support. Success. The Trust ends homeless by providing homes that are affordable coupled with the help needed to permanently break the cycle of homelessness.

It is the Trust that provides the structures, but it is the residents who make our buildings homes and communities. Whether it is cooking a Thanksgiving feast or holding the door for another resident, our residents’ generosity and neighborliness breathe life into our buildings.

While Trust residents are united by their experience of overcoming homelessness, they come from every walk of life and background. We provide housing for the disabled, artists, older adults, counselors, veterans, chefs, gardeners, young adults, transgender men and women, and clergy. During any given year 1,500 men and women call Trust buildings home, with over 80% of those residents staying for more than one year.
