LASA is a community-supported agency committed to the prevention of homelessness and recurrent homelessness.
In 1989, Rev. Luther Kriefall brought in people from 16 houses of worship. They all shared a common interest in both their neighbors and social justice. Together, they created a program that addressed the immediate issues causing homelessness, LASA was shaped by the increased need for homelessness prevention.

This has been a difficult year for our neighbors, and the community pulled out all the stops helping with our Christmas drive. The response to our Christmas boxes and flyers was overwhelming, and we thank each and every one of you, and our sponsors below, for this. Christmas for our families has been so successful, with every family member getting presents, from parents down to infants. Thanks to Holiday Stockings for Homeless Children, every child received a fully stuffed stocking, presents, and new clothing. Parents received both useful household goods and a few fun items. Winter coats were handed out and meals were donated and dispersed.
All of our sponsors are amazing, but we'd like to add a special welcome to BMW Northwest, who filled an entire SUV with gifts, and CalPortland, who filled the LASA van and donated three brand new bikes! We look forward to working with them in the future.
If you missed the drive, LASA collects year-round for essential household needs, and our wish list can be found below.































Michael Morrison supports LASA families in so many different ways, one of which is his annual sponsorship of Thanksgiving dinners for our neighbors in need. His gift cards help dozens of families afford Thanksgiving dinners, and Michael steps forward every year to make this happen. We could not do what we do without community sponsors like him.
LASA just completed groundbreaking on Gravelly Lake Commons - 26 units of affordable 2- and 3-bedroom apartments.
Present at the groundbreaking were a number of people who have contributed to the success of this project, as well as community members who have helped us grow.
We want to thank all the people who make our work possible. We can't do what we do without the support of our neighbors in the community. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all. Thank you for believing in our mission, your support is invaluable. We look forward to seeing you at the ribbon cutting!


Thanks to the generosity of those who attended and support our work, our sponsors, those who donated raffle prizes, and everyone else in our community who make our work possible we were able to raise over $43,000.
