We aim to end homelessness worldwide and change the lives of those affected by it.

About us

Depaul USA - Los Angeles is a non-profit organization striving to address the challenging issue of homelessness that more than 72,000 men, women, and children experience daily in Los Angeles. Our mission is to end homelessness and change the lives of those affected by it worldwide. We operate Casa Milagrosa, a day resource center near Westlake. Our reputation of radical hospitality has spread, and we now welcome over 100 guests daily. We treat our guests with dignity and respect in a warm, welcoming facility. We provide case management, breakfast and snacks, laundry, shower access, medical and dental referrals, access to phones and computers, food distribution events, community fairs, and AA meetings. We are working on a focus group at St. Vincent Parish to identify the community's needs and to bring our DAX program to LA. The Dax program addresses college student homelessness by providing stable and safe housing, including those aged out of the foster care system. It provides students with various services that support a successful path toward continuing and completing their studies. We will prepare them to manage their own household and become more productive citizens. At Depaul USA - Los Angeles, we believe that everyone has the potential to achieve great things. We put our words into action and aim to take a broader role in civil society. Our goal is to assist people in getting them to a better state of living, ultimately to have their own accommodation and help them towards a brighter and more dignified future.

  • From all the guests, staff, and volunteers of Depaul USA LA and Casa Milagrosa, we wish everyone a fun and safe 4th of July! A special thanks to our friends from the Ladies of Charity for bringing us flags for our guests. Everyone became excited as they entered Casa’a walls today, and got to wave around a flag that brings each of them a special sense of pride, and belonging. We look forward to being able to be a place where our guests can begin their days in comfort and community. We are thankful to have supporters who can help us make days like today special for those we serve. #DepaulUSA #CasaMilagrosa #DepaulUSALA  #DaughtersOfCharity #Charity1633 #HomelessnessHasNoPlace

  • #motivationmonday Last Friday, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) announced the 2024 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count results. LA County's homeless population dipped slightly to 75,312 in 2024 (down 0.27%), while the City of LA saw a bigger decrease to 45,252 (down 2.2%). While officials were cautiously optimistic about the results, they noted that one year of numbers moving in the right direction is insufficient to say the LA region has turned a corner in addressing homelessness. #newtrend #CasaMilagrosa #DepaulUSALA #Charity1633 #homelessnesshasnoplace

  • #ThrowbackThursday Today, we gleefully look back at a visit from USC’s Homeless Outreach Partnership for Education and Empowerment (HOPE2)! Some of the medical students of the club joined us last February to provide our guests with medical foot washing, a chance to check for any foot-based ailments, and a free pair of socks. Smiles and laughter can be seen being shared as our guests and student volunteers got a very different opportunity to connect. Having special event days like this helps remind our guests of the countless groups and organizations that are working to provide them with care-first services and aid. We cannot thank enough our partners and incredible student volunteers from USC and their HOPE2 program!  #ThrowbackThursday  #GoTrojans #DepaulUSA #CasaMilagrosa #DepaulUSALA #DaughtersOfCharity #Charity1633 #HomelessnessHasNoPlace

    #GuestSpotlight Today, we would like to introduce our followers to Anthony. A new guest of this year, he has found refuge and community within the walls of Casa Milagrosa. Anthony does his best to make it to Casa daily for the many services he receives and to see the friends who introduced him to Casa and the ones he has made here. Besides breakfast, Anthony has received clothing, hygiene supplies, help to access important documents, laundry and shower services, and medical care. You can help Anthony and the other guests of Casa Milagrosa, and DepaulUSA LA as a whole by donating to our #MatchingGrantChallenge! In partnership with the Raskob Foundation, every dollar donation is matched with $5. We have until Next Friday, June 28th, to raise $5,000. That will unlock the $25,000 that the Foundation has promised to match. You can donate today through our linktr.ee ( https://lnkd.in/gtAfU2e4 )! If you cannot donate today, you can create a support donor page to share with your family and friends across social media. By creating your own page, we can show our new supporters and donors how involved we hope to have the community in carrying out our mission. It is also a reminder to our guests of the continued support of the community around them. All funds raised through this challenge will return to Depaul USA LA so we can continue to provide next-level support to the unhoused and housing-insecure community. Within 3 days of launching our fundraiser, we collected 40% of our goal! We cannot begin to thank our supporters who have helped raise $2,020 in such a short amount of time. With your help donating, sharing, and talking to your friends and family about DepaulUSA LA’s work, we can easily surpass our goal, and get our guests the quality care, services, and support they need. #GuestSpotlight #depaulusa #CasaMilagrosa #DepaulUSALA #DaughtersofCharity #Charity1633 #homelessnesshasnoplace
