Helping the Community to be more resilient

Community Risk Reduction

MySafe:LA is passionate about helping everyone across Los Angeles live safer and more resilient lives. We focus on Community Risk Reduction (CRR), a trusted approach that identifies local risks—from home fires to natural disasters—and turns that knowledge into practical actions to protect lives. Our dedication has earned us national recognition from Vision 20/20, the organization behind the CRR model. Whether through research, education, or community events, everything we do is aimed at building safer homes, stronger streets, and neighborhoods that stand together during challenging times.

It Takes a Village

At MySafe:LA, we know that creating safer communities isn’t something any one organization can do alone — it truly takes a village. While our in-house team brings expertise in training, research, logistics, and technology, our greatest strength lies in collaboration. We proudly partner with organizations that share our commitment to public safety and resilience — from the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) and CAL FIRE to the Los Angeles City and County Fire Departments, the Los Angeles Police Department, the American Red Cross, and many others, including the Departments of Aging, Recreation and Parks, and Neighborhood Empowerment. Together, we’re building a network of people and programs that help Los Angeles prepare for challenges, recover from emergencies, and thrive in the face of change.

Making a Difference With The Homeless Population

Persons Experiencing Homelessness: It's on All of Us

The pain of homelessness touches our city painfully and persistently. In Los Angeles County, the 2025 point-in-time count found approximately 72,308 people experiencing homelessness — a 4 % decline from the previous year.  Across the city itself, the number fell by 3.4 %.  

Even with this slight progress, tens of thousands of men, women, and children still lack a safe, stable place to sleep. Many live in tents, vehicles, or makeshift shelters. In recent years, patterns nationally suggest that a growing share of those facing homelessness are doing so for the first time — underscoring how quickly life’s circumstances can shift.  

This is not just a statistic. It’s a call to action. How do we, as a community, stand by people when they fall? How do we build bridges back to security, dignity, and home? At MySafe:LA, we refuse to accept homelessness as inevitable. We believe in compassion, in systemic solutions, and in doing the hard work of prevention, intervention, and lasting support — together.

Other Community Threats

Safety in Los Angeles means more than preparing for fires, floods, or earthquakes — it also involves the everyday risks that can affect anyone, anywhere. From staying safe around water and preventing burns to protecting older adults and reducing injuries in our homes and streets, these challenges are part of life in a lively, busy city. MySafe:LA offers education, resources, and real-world guidance to help people make safer choices every day. Because when we understand the risks around us — and know how to respond — we make Los Angeles stronger, one community at a time.
