More Than 236,000 Angelinos
—Have No Place To Call Home
Taking It To The Streets
Los Angeles hosts a full 10% of the nation's homeless population. These individuals represent all races, national origins, religions, disabilities, and ages.
The Numbers
Of the 236,000 L.A. homeless, the majority (34%) are veterans (Service Era: WWII 2.2%, pre-Korean .4%, Korea 3.3%, pre-Vietnam 6.3%, Vietnam 42.1%, post-Vietnam 38%, and Persian Gulf 7.6%). Another 24% are innocent children.
Veterans' Needs
Veterans lack essential basics, including; food, clothing, shoes, hygiene supplies, linens, medical and dental attention, continuum of care housing with case management programs, training for career ladder jobs, and assistance with entitlement benefits while in recovery programs.
Childrens' Needs
Los Angeles's needy children lack new school supplies, clothing and shoes, toys and entertainment, and caring volunteers who can provide them with a healthy dose of self-esteem.
A Worthy Cause
The Kenny Nickelson Memorial Foundation for Homeless Veterans and Children, Inc. (KNMF) was chartered in 1991 to aid the homeless in Los Angeles, South Bay, and Harbor Cities in an effort to continue Kenny Nickelson's vital work. Prior to his death at the age of 23, Kenny devoted his life to helping those living on the streets.
KNMF Success Record
Since 1991, KNMF has assisted more than 87,617 individuals through services and personal care items.
With the generous support of donors, resources, and volunteers, KNMF has been able to help tens of thousands of needy individuals over the years by responding to their needs.
