In less than a week, the fiscal year will come to an end for A Community of Friends . We have a lot to be grateful for amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the movement towards racial equity. We have learned how resilient our tenants and staff can be, how responsive our Board of Directors are, and how communities can come together during a crisis. Most importantly we are grateful for you, our supporters who did not forget about A Community of Friends .

As we move into a new fiscal year and this next chapter of our ‘new normal,’ we know there are many more challenges ahead. Equity cannot be achieved by statements alone and COVID-19 is still very present. Our work continues. Providing permanent supportive housing to the most vulnerable, including predominantly to people of color, is more important than ever before. The 2019 homeless count for the City and County of Los Angeles was released this month showed a 14% and 12% increase, respectively, of people experiencing homelessness. And this pandemic will likely cause many more vulnerable families to become homeless in the coming months. Having an affordable home connected to services remains the best way to end long-term homelessness.

We know many of you have had your own personal challenges during these past few months, but you still managed to show up and be resilient right alongside ACOF . You have not only provided monetary and in-kind support, but many of you have also sent emails and made phone calls to check on us, so we say thank you, thank you, thank you!  Can we count on you one more time before June 30 th ? Canceling our June 3 rd fundraiser required us to launch an online Fundraising Campaign. Our goal was to raise enough money to fund our services program, address COVID-19 supply needs, and ultimately, to meet our budget. We are not too far away from our goal, and could still use your help! If we had 200 people donating an average of $250 each, getting us to $50,000, we would close that gap!
