We are both proud and humbled that our Founder and Executive Director, Garrett Underwood, was recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal in their prestigious Leaders of Influence: Nonprofit & Philanthropy list.
This recognition highlights the dedicated efforts, vision, and heart driving Seed House Project forward every single day.
Driven by Purpose: Reimagining How We Address Homelessness
At Seed House Project, our mission goes far beyond providing shelter—we exist to inspire, empower, and transform the lives of transition-age youth experiencing homelessness. As Garrett often reminds us, addressing homelessness requires more than just changing physical circumstances; it begins by changing mindsets, restoring dignity, and building self-worth.
By providing a success-driven live/work environment, hands-on entrepreneurial education, career development workshops, and dedicated mentorship, Seed House Project equips young adults with the tools they need to build lasting independence.
The Power of Real Impact
This recognition reflects the real-world outcomes our team, partners, and supporters achieve together:
-
Nationwide Partnerships: We collaborate with shelters across the country to conduct impactful career development workshops.
-
Empowering the Next Generation: Through our live/work approach and mentorship programs, Seed House Project helped connect over 98 young adults to employment within just one year.
-
Fostering Leadership: We give transition-age youth the space and resources to discover their purpose and become leaders in their own lives.
A Message from Our Leadership

This recognition by the Los Angeles Business Journal belongs to every young person who has walked through our doors, every mentor who has shared their time, and every supporter who believes in our mission.” — Garrett Underwood, Executive Director & Founder
