Welcome

NEW IMAGE EMERGENCY SHELTER for the HOMELESS (New Image) was incorporated in March, 1990 with the following Mission:

The MISSION of New Image is to: (1) decrease and (2) prevent homelessness throughout Los Angeles County by providing comprehensive Case Management and Supportive Services, housing, job search and placement, outreach, and referral services.

Our Service Population is:

  • Homeless Unaccompanied Runaway Youth
  • Persons with Disabilities
  • Homeless and low-income individuals and families with children
  • Individuals and Families living with HIV/AIDS
 


Since its incorporation in 1990, New Image has operated more than forty (40) Local, City, County and Federal programs, totaling more than $35,500,000.00 in public funds.

New Image as a social service provider began providing services to homeless and low-income individuals and families with children, in 1989. At that time, New Image operated one (1) program, had four (4) employees, and an Annual Gross Income of $14,000.00. Today, 18 years later, it operates fourteen (14) programs, provides numerous services, has over 181 employees, and its Annual Gross Income that exceeds $6,000,000.00, however, more then 95% of these funds are restricted, for ‘programs’, only. In September 2007,

New Image achieved a milestone, having provided comprehensive Case Management and supportive services to more than 1.5 million duplicated homeless and low-income individuals and families with children, of which over 413,491 of these clients were unduplicated (meaning they received services only once). These figures represent an accumulation of all clients served for the past 18 years, in all of New Image 14 programs. As of December 2007, this figure had increased to 1,561,143 duplicated clients served and 416,501 unduplicated.
