Who We Are
LA Habilitation House is a 501c (3) nonprofit social enterprise, offering employment and career opportunities to individuals with disabilities and other barriers to employment. We were born in Long Beach in 2007 and hired our first employees with disabilities and other barriers in 2008. And never looked back! 😊
Employment, coupled with training before and during employment, within a supportive work environment helps each person to discover, use, and improve their talents, their desire for creativity, and ultimately for knowing and becoming more themselves. This approach has also shown to be linked with longer career experiences, i.e. maintaining the job.
The jobs we offer are in janitorial services, administrative services, culinary training, and coordinated career pathways.
Our Impact
Since our beginning, we have trained, employed, and supported 117 individuals, who have used their work experience, confidence, and skills to move on and up in their career.
How We Use Your Generous Donations
Your donations will be used to provide additional paid training and on-the-job supports and accommodations to employees with disabilities and barriers to maintaining their employment. Maintaining employment allows each person to use their work experience as a stepping stone for future employment opportunities.
