A Place to Rest, Recalibrate, and Rebuild.
Dierre Community Housing Group provides safe, structured, and dignity-centered living environments designed to help individuals build stability, accountability, community, and greater independence.
Stability begins with a place that feels grounded.
Our mission at Dierre Community Housing Group is to provide safe, structured, and dignity-centered housing environments where individuals can build stability, strengthen accountability, and move toward greater independence.
Through community, consistency, personal responsibility, and respect, we create spaces that support residents as they rebuild their lives and work toward meaningful, sustainable futures.
Purposeful housing, rooted in community.
Dierre Community Housing Group is an emerging structured and community-based housing organization serving Los Angeles County. Through Dierre Living, we are building housing environments that reflect safety, dignity, accountability, community, and opportunity.
A personal mission with a lasting purpose.
My name is Krystal Small, and I am a Los Angeles native. I created Dierre Community Housing Group from both personal experience and a genuine commitment to serving the community that raised me.
Dierre is named in honor of my late brother, Kevin Dierre Carey, who struggled with substance use and ultimately passed away from an overdose at just 34 years old. His journey and loss are deeply personal to me. They are a large part of why I felt called to this work and why I chose to enter it with my heart first. His experience showed me the difference between simply giving someone somewhere to sleep and creating a home where they are treated with dignity, where the spaces they live in are clean, thoughtfully maintained, and cared for with integrity, where they are surrounded by structure, and where they are given the space to rebuild.
I received my Master's degree in Diverse Community Development Leadership from California State University, Northridge, where I also earned my bachelor's degree in Communication Studies. Together with my professional background in human resources, workforce outreach, talent operations, and people-centered programs, my education has shaped how I approach this work with thoughtful structure, accountability, empathy, and a commitment to community.
“My brother’s name is attached to these homes, and I want them to represent the kind of place I would have wanted for him: clean, safe, structured, respectful, and filled with possibility.”
Community along the way.
Our vision is to create housing environments that cultivate stability, dignity, community, and opportunity. We envision Dierre becoming a trusted housing resource throughout Los Angeles County, known for responsible operations, safe and respectful homes, strong community partnerships, and environments where individuals are given the structure and support to move forward.
Warm, structured homes designed for forward movement.
Dierre Living is designed around clean, thoughtfully maintained housing, respectful shared spaces, personal responsibility, and a strong sense of community.
Our goal is to create homes where residents can settle in, build consistency, stay focused on individual goals, and move toward greater independence with dignity.
Values that shape every Dierre home.
Safety
Stable, well-managed environments where residents can feel secure and supported.
Dignity
Every individual is treated as a whole person and with genuine respect.
Accountability
Consistency and personal responsibility help create a foundation for stability.
Community
Belonging, positive connection, mutual respect, and shared responsibility matter.
Structure
Predictability and healthy routines create space to focus on what comes next.
Growth
Residents are encouraged to continue developing habits, goals, and skills that support independence.
Integrity
We operate with honesty, responsibility, and respect for the trust placed in us.
Second Chances
A person’s past does not have to determine their future. People deserve opportunities to rebuild.
The right environment can make room for possibility.
Dierre develops structured housing environments for adults who may benefit from greater stability, accountability, community, and a safe place to rebuild. As Dierre grows, individual residences may support different populations and housing needs.
