“We are so grateful for our deep and collaborative partnership with the Los Angeles Rams. Together, we have encouraged thousands of people to come out to support students, working families, and people experiencing homelessness across greater Los Angeles, and we expect this year’s edition of the walk to inspire even more people to step up for Los Angeles.”

Last year, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority estimated that 75,518 people were homeless on any given night countywide, a 9% increase from 69,144 in 2022,

This year, WalkUnitedLA’s goal is to raise over $1 million to support over 75,000 people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity across L.A. County.
