Guided Access to Local Resources
Pathways LA simplifies access to essential support by helping individuals identify their needs and connect with relevant local organizations. Instead of navigating fragmented systems, users are guided toward clear next steps tailored to their situation.
AI-Guided Needs Assessment
Users complete a short, adaptive quiz designed to identify their most pressing needs. This process reduces confusion and information overload, allowing individuals to focus on solutions rather than searching endlessly for help.
Location-Based Resource Matching
Based on quiz results, users are shown nearby organizations and resource centers in Los Angeles that align with their needs. This ensures that support is not only relevant, but realistically accessible.
Focus Areas
Pathways LA connects users to resources in the following areas:
-
Education access (tutoring, GED programs, college readiness)
-
Job readiness (training programs, career development, employment support)
-
Mental health support (counseling services, community wellness programs)
-
Basic needs (food access, housing support, community assistance)
Justice Through Access
