Westside CARES is neighbors helping neighbors. It prevents homelessness through food, clothing, healthcare, ID card, transportation, mail, utilities, and rent/mortgage assistance; and it supports people experiencing homelessness in achieving housing, work, and health goals. Each year the 10,000 neighbors we serve can rely on a safe space, where everyone is valued, to access the services they need to overcome financial setbacks and achieve their goals.
Westside CARES meets neighbors where they are, as they are, and supports them as they achieve their own goals for home, health, and hope. We know that community is vital for transformation, and we never give up on our neighbors. We engage relationships to leverage both preventative and remedial programs, and design solutions that meet a neighbor’s specific needs, amplifying key programs to address emerging needs.
With your help, Westside CARES can build a community that provides responsive preventative and remedial services to our neighbors. Together, we can prevent homelessness for 500 families, help 50 houseless neighbors into forever homes, provide healthy food for 10,000 neighbors, and more.
In 2025, Westside CARES prevented 500 evictions and helped 50 previously homeless neighbors into housing. Both programs have a 90% housing retention rate.
“The staff truly care and go above and beyond to help with food, housing, and support when you’re in crisis. Real people. Real help.” — Anonymous neighbor supported by Westside CARES
