Adults in Inglewood, Gardena, Hawthorne and the wider South Bay who are returning from jail or prison, are unhoused or at risk of losing housing, or are in recovery and want support.
Nothing is required to start. If you have any ID, release papers or benefits letters, bring them. If you don’t, getting them back is part of what we do.
One team stays with you from the first call to a stable home. Reentry case management ties every service together.
Your case manager builds a plan with you and stays with you through every step.
One-on-one support from someone who has been there, plus our weekend peer support group. Call or text us for this week’s time and place.
We help you find housing, complete applications, and connect with transitional and permanent options.
After you move in, we keep checking in so you can stay housed: budgeting, landlord communication and move-in basics.
We connect people living outside with shelter, outreach teams and the county’s housing system.
Change takes time. We plan your first year in four quarters so there is room to get documents back, build skills and settle in.
Intake, a service plan, ID and Social Security card, benefits applications.
Life skills, peer support, and referrals to treatment, training or work.
Housing search, applications and move-in support.
Stabilization check-ins and a plan for life after the program.
Levi Stansberry founded C.R.U.S.H. in 2018 after years in behavioral health, recovery services and reentry work, including a decade managing MIST programs. He saw that most reentry services in Los Angeles County sit in South and Central LA, while Inglewood, Gardena and Hawthorne had little dedicated support.
C.R.U.S.H. has been run entirely by volunteers since the beginning. Our team includes people with lived experience of recovery and reentry, alongside nurses, behavioral health clinicians and housing case managers.
C.R.U.S.H. has gone through LA County’s JCOD Incubation Academy, which trains community organizations in financial management, contracting and grant writing.

Probation and parole officers, clinics, shelters, faith communities and city staff can refer anyone who could use our help. We also welcome partners for housing, employment and health services.
Please don’t include health or case details in email. We’ll call you to take the referral.
