LAHF a été créée en 2001 et a reçu son statut d'organisme de bienfaisance en 2004. Le premier logement a été achevé en 2007.

En tant qu'organisation, LAHF ne s'est pas appuyée sur des membres du personnel rémunérés. Nous nous appuyons sur notre conseil d'administration, ce qui nous permet d'affecter vos généreux dons directement à nos projets. Nous sommes passionnés par l'amélioration de la vie des personnes à faible revenu de notre communauté. Le fait d'avoir un conseil "de travail" vous assure que vos fonds sont alloués là où vous les avez dirigés.
