unfundedLA is a collective for public health professionals in Los Angeles County — staying connected, skilled, and ready during periods of funding instability.
unfundedLA isn't a job board or a professional association. It's a living community — designed to keep LA's public health infrastructure human.
The headlines cover clinic closures and service cuts. What they don't cover is the workforce attrition that makes recovery impossible — the quiet departure of the talent that makes public health work.
When experienced professionals leave the field during funding gaps, they take institutional knowledge, community trust, and years of relationships with them. You can't rebuild that overnight when the funding returns.
unfundedLA was built on one belief: the expertise required to address LA County's public health challenges is too valuable to let drift out of the field. We're holding the ecosystem together.
Whether you've been laid off, you're watching colleagues leave, or you're entering the field in one of its hardest moments — this community is for you.
Join the community that's keeping them connected, skilled, and ready — because when the funding returns, Los Angeles needs them ready to go.
