My Community Service Project:
I chose Shelter Partnership Inc. because I believe there’s a homeless issue in Los
Angeles. The main purpose of this organization is to combat homelessness through actions like
policy analysis, resource development, and support of agencies and local governments that serve
the homeless. This organization helps my community by collecting funds and advocating for
policies that increase and strengthen affordable housing and homeless services. In 2015-2016,
Shelter partnership submitted formal and informal public comments that helped reduce the
amount of homeless people in Los Angeles. The city of and county of Los Angeles released
plans to improve homeless systems and plans to determine how to allocate additional funding for
homelessness. The way I would volunteer with this organization is by volunteering to help sort
donations of new clothing and to distribute to local homeless shelters. By volunteering to this
organization, I would learn how to work with homeless shelters and agencies. I would gain
experience and skills like distribution that could help me in the future.
