Every day, more people in our community lose their homes, their jobs, and eventually their hope. Some are families who lost everything in a foreclosure. Many are veterans. More and more of them are women.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humanity.Life is a non-profit organization that provides food, shelter and other basic resources to people who have become destitute and homeless \u2014 and then stays with them while they get back on their feet.<\/p><\/div><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What we believe<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Helping someone through one night matters. But we want to do more than that. Our goal is to help people regain hope <em>and<\/em> rebuild their lives, so they can stand on their own again and become productive, independent members of society.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make that happen, we work hard to bring together every resource we can find \u2014 from local, state and federal agencies, and from generous private donors like you \u2014 and put it where it does the most good.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How it all started<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years, our founder Majid Safaie watched the streets of Los Angeles fill up with people who had nowhere else to go. Under bridges, beside freeways, in public parks \u2014 anywhere someone could lay down a blanket.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more he saw, the more it bothered him. How can the richest country on earth have so many people living on its streets? Instead of waiting for someone else to fix it, he founded Humanity.Life \u2014 with the goal of ending homelessness in the United States and fighting poverty around the world.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can read his own words in <a href=\"https:\/\/humanity.life\/?page_id=45198\">Our Manifesto<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/humanity.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/humanity-life-feeding-residents.jpg\" alt=\"Volunteers serving hot meals to people in need\" class=\"wp-image-45182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/humanity.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/humanity-life-feeding-residents.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/humanity.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/humanity-life-feeding-residents-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/humanity.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/humanity-life-feeding-residents-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/humanity.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/humanity-life-feeding-residents-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/humanity.life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/humanity-life-feeding-residents-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our promise to you: transparency<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Humanity.Life is a non-profit charitable organization, approved by the IRS as tax-exempt, so your donations are tax deductible.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We believe you have the right to know exactly where your money goes.
