PATH

PATH is a California-based nonprofit organization focused on ending homelessness for individuals, families, and communities. Founded in 1983, PATH began by distributing food and clothing to those in need and has since evolved to implement the Housing First model. This approach prioritizes permanent housing followed by supportive services to help individuals stabilize their lives. PATH operates in over 150 cities across California, with more than 2,700 units of permanent supportive housing completed or in development. Each year, PATH provides comprehensive supportive services to approximately 26,000 individuals. These services include street outreach, interim housing, housing placement, employment assistance, mental health care, and veteran-specific services. The organization is committed to creative collaborations and strategic leadership, aiming to create a world where everyone has a home. With a dedicated team of around 1,400 staff members, PATH focuses on person-centered initiatives to deliver faster and more affordable solutions to homelessness.
