JIM MILLER, Founder and Executive Director

For every homeless person you see on the street, there are thousands more you don’t see--men, women, teens, and children who struggle every day just to survive. At American Family Housing, we give them what they so desperately need--the opportunity for a better life.

In 1985, I began delivering food, blankets and clothing to those in need. Since then, AFH has grown to more than 330 units of emergency, transitional, and permanent housing. On any given night, more than 1,000 clients who would otherwise be homeless, now have a safe place to sleep, food to eat, and hope for a better tomorrow.

American Family Housing (AFH, also known as Shelter for the Homeless) is a nonprofit organization that provides Emergency,Transitional and Permanent Affordable Housing. AFH has operated in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino counties for over 23 years, expanding our programs and properties each year to help more people.

AFH is more than just a shelter. We also offer compassion, counseling, education and other services necessary for homeless and low-income clients to become self-supporting members of society. But we can't do it alone!

We need your continued support. 

• Our administration cost is kept below 10%. This means that over 90% of ALL funding goes directly to our client programs.

• American Family Housing partners with volunteers, churches, service groups, community organizations, and city, county, state and federal governments so our clients can have the opportunity to transform their lives. 

We need you, too! Click on the links above to donate or volunteer.

Thank you once again for helping us move people from...

**HOMELESS to HOPE to HOME**

 The bread which you do not use

    Is the bread of the hungry.

The garment hanging in your wardrobe

    Is the garment of the one who is naked.

The shoes that you do not wear

    Are the shoes of one who is barefoot.

The money you keep locked away

    Is the money of the poor.

The acts if charity you do not perform

    Are so many injustices you commit.
