Why Connect services and housing? LACLT’s low to moderate income residents come from a variety of backgrounds. Most of our residents are simply working families unable to afford area rents on their salaries.  Others are single parents with children or families who are homeless or near homeless.  These residents often  face additional barriers to self-sufficiency and can benefit from supportive counseling and a broad array of social services.  LACLT strives to make sure its residents in need have access to all the supportive counseling, social services, training opportunities, relationship-building opportunities and leadership opportunities available to them to stabilize their families and become self-sufficient.   

The purpose of offering resident services is to enhance residents’ quality of life and build healthy communities.  Services stabilize families in need through coordination of community resources and help families to overcome personal and systemic barriers to self-sufficiency.  It is also a socially responsible approach to asset management which results in an increased ability of the residents to uphold lease obligations and a decrease in resident turnover and eviction.
