WHY THE DREAM CENTER?

Twenty-four percent of the nation's homeless population live in Los Angles county. An average Los Angles evening sees some 66,436 people living on the streets. 19.7 Million Adults ages 12 and older have battled a substance use disorder. Since 1994 the Dream Center has provided opportunities for people to transform their lives and has been serving communities in need through its various programs. Dream Center outreach programs are designed to reach the most underserved communities in Los Angeles and provide immediate resources like food, clothing, and other essential items. Dream Center reaches thousands of people in need multiple times every week through their mobile food banks and community relationship-building program, Adopt A Block. Transitional housing programs are available to those who are looking to make significant changes in their lives to heal from past trauma, fight and overcome addictions or other life-controlling issues like homelessness, and develop the life skills to transition back into society successfully with a renewed sense of purpose, and a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Dream Centers resource programs support and mobilize their outreach and residential programs which includes an onsite food bank that on average, distributes over 5 million pounds of food a year.
