Our Community LA

Our Community LA (ocla) is a volunteer-led, 501(c)3 organization that leverages technology for social good for the benefit of homeless and nearly homeless individuals and families. Using mobile communication and web-based resources, ocla empowers homeless and at-risk youth, students, families, seniors and single adults to facilitate positive change in their lives. Ocla's programs are purposefully designed to empower homeless and housing-insecure persons of all ages and support their ability to easily locate and connect to needed local service providers. Our programs include: 1) the free and confidential win what I need (win) mobile app which empowers vulnerable and resource insecure individuals to anonymously search for and connect with nearby free or sliding scale supportive services needed to build a life out of poverty. Win, designed with the support of la's homeless, is truly "help in the palm of one's hand."
