ABOUT

How we make an impact.

OUR VISION

Step Up envisions that all individuals, families, and communities affected by serious mental health issues, and persons who are experiencing chronic homelessness, will have the opportunity to experience recovery and a sense of belonging, and that permanent supportive housing will be available to everyone.

OUR MISSION

Step Up delivers compassionate support to people experiencing serious mental health issues, and persons who are experiencing chronic homelessness, to help them recover, stabilize, and integrate into the community. Through dynamic partnerships, we provide positive social and learning environments, vocational training, permanent supportive housing opportunities, and recovery services to empower individuals to cultivate lives of hope and dignity. We exercise innovative leadership and advocacy to increase public understanding, support, and acceptance of all people living with serious mental health issues.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

“Together, we can end homelessness and move more people experiencing mental health issues into a compassionate environment in which to recover and thrive.”
Tod Lipka, Step Up President & CEO

“I’ve been doing this long enough to know that what Step Up is doing is profoundly good, and profoundly needed. So build it, support what Step Up is doing, and stay at this until there is no body wandering the streets alone just because their friends and neighbors didn’t realize they were also their brothers and sisters. ”
President Bill Clinton, January 14, 2013, Step Up on Vine

“Our vision is to make Los Angeles an ideal place for Veterans.”
Robert A. McDonald Former Secretary of Veteran Affairs and member of Step Up Honorary Board

“Over the next two years, Step Up will provide access to permanent housing and a rich array of support services for an additional 1,000 individuals, each having lived on the streets for an average of 5 years.”
Tod Lipka, Step Up President & CEO
