CHOSEN HEARTS

Chosen Hearts is a South Los Angeles nonprofit dedicated to rebuilding lives and restoring hope for individuals and youth facing homelessness, housing instability, and systemic barriers.

We provide trauma-informed Case Management, Housing Stability & Tenancy Support, Independent Living Skills coaching, Life Management programming, youth wellness initiatives, and community-based outreach designed to promote long-term stability and self-sufficiency.

Our work includes four core service areas:

Case Management

We offer individualized, one-on-one support focused on stabilization, comprehensive needs assessment, care coordination, barrier reduction, and connection to housing, benefits, mental health care, and community resources. Our approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and grounded in accountability and empowerment.

Housing Stability & Tenancy Support

We support individuals transitioning from homelessness into permanent housing through tenancy education, lease understanding, budgeting support, landlord communication guidance, routine-building, and problem-solving. Our goal is to prevent returns to homelessness by strengthening housing retention and long-term stability.

Independent Living Skills & Life Management

Through structured coaching and guided goal-setting, participants build practical life skills, strengthen decision-making, improve financial management, and develop confidence to navigate major life transitions successfully.

Rooted & Resilient: A TAY Health & Healing Series

This youth-centered initiative serves Transitional Age Youth (ages 16–24) in SPA 6 through trauma-informed wellness circles and health education that promote resilience, emotional wellness, and community connection.

We meet people where they are — in schools, shelters, interim housing, and community spaces — providing consistent, dignity-centered support.

Since launching, Chosen Hearts has served over 1,000 individuals through outreach, stabilization services, and structured programming.

We believe that with the right support, healing and long-term stability are possible.
