By City News Service Feb 4, 2021 LOS ANGELES (CNS) - People Assisting the Homeless, among the state's largest nonprofits working to end homelessness, announced today that it has received nearly $1 million in grants to increase awareness of its Los Angeles-based LeaseUp program. LeaseUp -- launched three years ago with the support of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority -- enables property owners with vacant units to connect with service providers like PATH and with prospective renters. The program helps transition formerly homeless people into vacant units, benefiting renters and owners alike. Since 2018, LeaseUp said it has secured more than 4,000 units of subsidized rental units from more than 600 property owners and managers for Angelenos either experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
