Shelter Partnership, Inc. is a nonprofit organization collaboratively addressing homelessness in Los Angeles County through policy analysis, program design, resource development, and advocacy in support of agencies and local governments that serve the homeless.
Shelter Partnership Inc directs its giving toward organizations that support people experiencing homelessness, with every recorded grant in the United States and 99% of grants going to recipients in California. The largest recent awards show the foundation working through a mix of shelter providers, school districts, health organizations, and community nonprofits to move resources to people who need basic support. In 2024, it gave $963,957 to Los Angeles Unified School District and $774,470 to Christian Outreach Appeal in Long Beach, both described as helping support the homeless. Earlier grants included $1,184,282 to The Salvation Army Santa Maria Corps, reflecting the same homeless-services emphasis at a larger scale. Other large recipients such as Heart of Compassion, Homeless Health Care Los Angeles, and North Valley Caring Services point to a funding pattern centered on direct services, shelter-linked assistance, and local response capacity. The foundation’s work is closely tied to Los Angeles County and neighboring California communities, where it backs agencies that serve unsheltered individuals, families, and chronically homeless adults.
A clear theme in Shelter Partnership Inc’s grantmaking is support for homeless-services infrastructure. It gave $733,742 to Home at Last Community Development Corporation Avalon Shelter in Los Angeles and $385,714 to Immanuel Housing Inc, also in Los Angeles, both to assist with resources supporting the homeless. Health-linked service delivery is another strand: Homeless Health Care Los Angeles received $643,969, and Asian American Drug Abuse Program (aadap) received $292,801, each for work tied to homelessness support. The foundation also funds family and crisis-response settings. It awarded $303,279 to 1736 Family Crisis Center in Torrance, and $283,147 to Catholic Charities of Los Angeles Long Beach Family Shelter in Long Beach, both connected to homeless services. School-based support appears as well through Los Angeles Unified School District Strategic Partnershipsgrants, which received $609,050 for the same purpose.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the mid-five figures, with a p25 of $15,641, a median of $36,464, and a p75 of $89,924. The recent grants list also shows many awards well above the median, indicating that the foundation pairs a broad base of smaller grants with a set of larger operating-style commitments. Repeated recipients appear across years, including The Salvation Army Santa Maria Corps, Heart of Compassion, North Valley Caring Services, Homeless Health Care Los Angeles, Christian Outreach Appeal, and Immanuel Housing Inc, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off support. Shelter Partnership Inc is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not make program-related investments.
