ABOUT OUR PARTNER
Homies Unidos (HU) is a registered 501(c)(3) founded in 1996 to address the problems of urban violence and the internationalization of gangs.

In 1998, current and former system-impacted members in the predominantly Central American communities of Los Angeles aligned themselves with Homies Unidos in El Salvador to achieve the same objective.
