Ellas Foundation is a Los Angeles-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization that began rendering its services to individuals seeking emergency housing.  This legacy began with Ella Craine, a local matriarch who kept an open door for all those who needed help.  Nearly 40 years later, Ella's Foundation continues this legacy by offering a "home" to men in their community that are in transition in their lives due to some life altering event, experience or circumstance. They provide housing for adult males 18-65 years old, including veterans, those formerly incarcerated and those who are aging out of foster care. Los Angeles has the highest population of  chronically homeless individuals and nearly all of them sleep on the street. Ellas Foundation Supportive Housing program is designed to assist homeless adult males (18-65 years old) in the transition from homelessness to sustainable living, by providing them access to supportive services while being housed at Ellas Foundation. They provide housing for the following populations;  AB109, TAY, FSP, Veterans and to anyone who is homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Mission Statement: Ella's Foundation is committed to restoring the lives of men in our community that are in transition due to life altering events, so that we may connect them to a community of support through housing and direct services to build productive and sustainable lives.
