Welcome Home
"Because of my home, I have
a lot of goals and plans for my future." - Tammy
Welcome Home is Linc's program that's provided bedding, housewares, food, and toiletries for more than 600 of our
new residents transitioning out of homelessness.

After opening one of L.A. County's early supportive housing communities in 2011, Linc realized that these new residents often arrived at their new home without even a pillow or toothbrush. Our Welcome Home program was created
so the community could help provide the necessities
that would make their new residence a place where
they can settle in and thrive.

Make Welcome Home the focus of your next corporate volunteer activity or holiday gift giving effort!

Not only is Welcome Home a worthy sponsorship activity, it is also a great opportunity for volunteering.

Service clubs and corporations may collect new housewares, bedding, or toiletries for the apartments. Sponsors can also organize a group of volunteers for a Welcome Home day when we unpack, organize, and furnish apartments with Welcome Home packages of bed, bath, and kitchen essentials at a new Linc community.
