Team Los Angeles 2019

People often think of Los Angeles as a beautiful city with famous celebrities, huge mansions and beautiful beaches, but hidden behind the wealth and success exists thousands of people living in a state of homelessness — and they live in a place called Skid Row. The streets of Skid Row exemplify the stark contract between the wealthy and the poor, this gap being one of the greatest in the country. 

Next Step partners alongside organizations dedicated to empowering those in the city who are experiencing physical and spiritual oppression. Places like the Union Rescue Mission, a ministry that helps thousands of people get off the streets and build a new life through short and long-term services, Hope Gardens, an oasis of hope with transitional housing for women and children to carry each family from homelessness to independence within three years, and many more.
