For every homeless person you see on the street, there are thousands more you don’t see; men, women, teens, and children who struggle every day just to survive. At American Family Housing, we give our neighbors what they so desperately need; the opportunity to live in stable housing so they can have a better life.

Established in 1985, AFH has been in service to communities in the Southern California for 32 years. What began as one home in Santa Ana and a food distribution project in Westminster has consistently expanded over time. Founder Jim Miller, an accountant, started his commitment to bettering the lives of others as a concerned citizen using his own money to pay the rent for an elderly homeless woman from his church and to feed the homeless in a local park. From modest beginnings that included renting one single-family home in Santa Ana for homeless mentally ill adults and operating a small food distribution project in Westminster, AFH’s work serving homeless and low-income families with their basic needs of shelter, food, and clothing has never strayed far from the roots established by its caring founder.

American Family Housing (formerly known as Shelter for the Homeless) is a nonprofit organization that provides a continuum of housing and services to ensure long term housing stability. AFH operates in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Bernardino continually expanding housing and services each year to meet the needs of communities and those we serve.

Fundamental Principles of the Global Red Cross Network          

Humanity

The Red Cross, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors—in its international and national capacity—to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples.

Impartiality

It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.

Neutrality

In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Red Cross may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.

Independence

The Red Cross is independent. The national societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with Red Cross principles.

Voluntary Service

The Red Cross is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.

Unity

There can be only one Red Cross society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.

Universality

The Red Cross is a worldwide institution in which all societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other.
