Welcome To Ascencia
Ascencia has provided housing, services, and resources to over 20,000 homeless individuals and families since 2006. Our Access Center located at 1851 Tyburn Street in Glendale, California is the heart of our organization. Our soul is the thousands of volunteers, donors, and sponsors that enable our work.
We offer a variety of comprehensive services and programs, all with the end-goal of placing unhoused community members in permanent supportive housing, and keeping them housed. Everyday, our trained case managers save lives.
From the guest chefs who prepare and serve hot meals, to the generous corporations, organizations, and individuals who give to keep our doors open, we thank you. Your efforts help us break down the barriers that contribute to homelessness, and rebuild the lives of hundreds of individuals and families every year. Join us in lifting up our community.
What We Do
Ascencia provides a range of clinical services and housing programs to lift people out of homelessness. It all starts with outreach or referrals. From there, our skilled case managers work with clients to determine their needs and guide them to safe, permanent housing.
Street Outreach
Ascencia conducts street outreach to go to the heart of homelessness, passing out resources and supplies, and enrolling clients directly from the streets. We also partner with hospitals and organizations across the county that connect us with individuals and families who need services.
Housing Programs
Our emergency shelter in Glendale has 45 beds to provide safe interim housing for our most vulnerable clients, including designated family rooms. We have relationships with affordable housing units across L.A. County to ensure the best supportive housing option for every client. We have successfully placed over 2,200 individuals and families into permanent housing since our work began, and we continue to work with clients once they are home.
Support Services
We are proud to offer crucial support such as ongoing case management, occupational therapy, children’s art therapy, trauma therapy, telepsychiatry, financial literacy classes, housing retention, and much more.
“Ascencia works real miracles. You have transformed the darkest time in our life to a new beginning and a story of grace and compassion.”
Get Involved
With over 75,000 individuals experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles County, we need your help to assist our most vulnerable community members.
