St. Joseph Center

Our Story

Founded in July 1976 by two Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, St. Joseph Center began as a small storefront operation in Venice, California, providing advocacy and essential services to low-income families. As homelessness surged in the 1980s, the organization expanded its mission to include support for unhoused individuals, evolving into a vital nonprofit that now serves over 14,000 people annually through more than 25 programs across Los Angeles County.

Impact

In the 2022-2023 period, St. Joseph Center successfully placed 1,910 individuals and families into safe, permanent housing, graduated 227 individuals from job training programs, and provided mental health services to 35,459 individuals. Additionally, the Bread and Roses Café served 46,751 hot meals to those in need.
