Lamp Community Gift Drive

About Lamp Community: Lamp Community is a Los Angeles based nonprofit organization that permanently ends homelessness, improves health, and builds self- sufficiency among men and women living with severe mental illness. The approach they use, and helped to pioneer, is called Housing First or Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH). Lamp treats housing as a prerequisite for coping with the debilitating challenges of mental illness, addiction, physical disability, chronic disease, and the trauma associated with years of homelessness. Customer choice is central to all of their services. Lamp achieves one of the highest success rates in the nation for ending homelessness – more than 85% of the people they house stay housed permanently. http://lampcommunity.org
