Shelterbags for Los Angeles

At least 63,706 people are currently homeless in Los Angeles County. That’s according to a count by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) where they noticed a 20% increase in homelessness compared to 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic has only brought more challenges, with housing affordability and decreased capacity in shelters further contributing to encampments throughout the city.

Unsheltered Moments

The Sheltersuit Foundation aims to change the representation of the growing group of people experiencing homelessness around the world, while improving their everyday lives. To date, Sheltersuit has produced and donated over 15.000 Sheltersuits and Shelterbags to keep people warm and dry while living on the street. While handing out our products, we realized it gave us a unique opportunity to get close to people who are unseen by most of us. In this magazine, you’ll meet a few of them. Their stories stand for those of whom we hear too little.

Terrigal Rotary

In 2019, while visiting the Rotary Capetown, Mary Crammond was introduced to Sheltersuit Foundation and Lyn. After seeing a Shelterbag, Mary’s first thought was “We don’t need that in Australia! Our government looks after us”. But with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it became apparent to her that Australia had more people experiencing homelessness than she first realised.

Now, Rotary Terrigal and Sheltersuit have started a project to share shelter with 400 people in the Central Coast region of Australia.

Auping

Sheltersuit Foundation and Dutch bedding and mattress company, Royal Auping, both believe in a comfortable night’s sleep. Together, we produced 250 Shelterbags, a sturdy mattress and summer sleeping bag combo that rolls up into a bag. Auping was able to provide the mat inside, supporting 250 people so that they don’t have to sleep on the hard pavement.

Chloé

We have entered into an exciting partnership with Parisian fashion house Chloé, led by purpose pioneer Gabriela Hearst. As the fashion house’s newly appointed Creative Director, she is prioritizing environmental and social impact in an effort to address a much larger global issue – along with Sheltersuit.
