Proyecto Pastoral at Dolores Mission was founded in 1986 to reduce gang violence in Boyle Heights.  Programs provide training, education and social services to low-income, primarily Latino, uninsured immigrants. It provides an emergency shelter, after school academic enrichment for K-12, early education centers, a thrift store, and a community organizing and civic engagement program.  It serves 2,500 individuals annually.

The Guadalupe Homeless Project (GHP), which serves 650 homeless men per year, is providing 300 women and families in need with rental assistance, motel vouchers, clothing vouchers and bus tokens.

We’re thrilled that we were invited to apply for a grant from The Foundation, because there’s so much need in our community. This grant will greatly increase our ability to support more families in need of temporary housing.
