Fed up with watching City Hall pour hundreds of millions into homelessness with little to show for it, John Alle decided to take matters into his own hands. Instead of waiting on programs, paperwork, or promises, the LA businessman quietly started doing what the city wouldn’t — paying out of pocket to get people off the streets and back to their families. Bus tickets, plane fares, hotel nights, food, IDs — whatever it takes, Alle covers it himself, often for a few hundred dollars at a time.
