For 26 years, the Los Angeles House of Ruth and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange have had a strong partnership to meet the needs of the most vulnerable in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.  Funds from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange have been utilized to provide assistance to women and children dealing with homelessness. Thousands of vulnerable families have been assisted through this partnership over the years and we would not have been able to have such an impact on those we serve without this partnership. 

Like the time of their founding in 17th century France, the Sisters of St. Joseph today act with bold faith, take risks to address the ills of society, adapt to the needs of the time, and offer a compassionate presence to the people they serve.

Los Angeles House of Ruth is grateful for the beautiful and lasting communion we share with the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange in our common mission and work in addressing the diverse and unmet needs in our local communities.

Thanks to the generosity of a woman named Viki, Los Angeles House of Ruth has been able to add a brand new venture to their “community of care.”

Viki’s donation funded the development of a 4-unit building which will provide safe and secure housing for up to eight families. Completely renovated throughout, with all new furnishings and laundry facilities inside and outside, the property has 10 bedrooms, a large meeting space for all residents, and individual apartment “reading nooks” which will be kept supplied with books for all ages.

This new property follows the hallmark of the organization’s program of nurturing. For the previously homeless, a sense of home is an essential element of healing. House of Ruth has a 95% success rate for families who move into permanent housing and stay there.

A foundation has been laid in the backyard of Viki’s House for a multi-space mental health center, but because it will contain offices and no housing, private funds are required to complete the project. If you’d like to help, please consider a donation to LAHR.

LAHR’s Annual Bingo Fundraiser was a HUGE Success. We appreciate our WONDERFUL Sponsors!
