St. Joseph Center Opens La Ramona Family Interim Housing Community
St. Joseph Center opened La Ramona Family Interim Housing Community in South Los Angeles, its first owned housing site and a new resource for families experiencing homelessness as they work toward permanent housing and stability.
La Ramona Family Interim Housing Community provides families with temporary housing and access to essential services, including employment training, credit repair, legal assistance, mental health support, and case management.
Developed as part of California’s Project Homekey initiative, La Ramona represents a collaboration between St. Joseph Center, Los Angeles County, the State of California, the City of Los Angeles, and the Coalition for Responsible Community Development.
The opening also marked an important moment for residents like Nandi, a mother who arrived at La Ramona with her infant son after experiencing housing instability. With support from St. Joseph Center staff, she began working toward greater stability for herself and her family.
