Los Angeles Room & Board

Los Angeles Room & Board (LA Room & Board) exists to ensure that California’s community college students achieve their post-secondary education goals by providing affordable transitional housing designed to end homelessness and, through our residential education program, promote persistence, retention, and completion from their certificate, associate’s and bachelor’s degree programs.

What We Do

Create living-learning communities that provide a safe, secure, and supportive environment with one-on-one case management and access to extensive support services which will allow students to hone in on life, leadership, and social skills. We seek to support students in identifying housing without respect to credit worthiness, income level, or other barriers. The program will utilize a hybrid Rapid Rehousing and Transitional Housing model, which fully subsidizes student’s housing expenses for a period of time and progressively requires students to pay toward their housing expenses.
