Civic and Community

Women are the fastest growing segment of the local homeless population. With more than 16,000 women nightly without a home in Los Angeles, there is an urgent need for additional long-term housing and supportive services for this group. Downtown Women's Center is responding to this need by renovating a six-story building that will increase permanent supportive housing; expand drop-in services; provide the first women's medical and mental health clinic on skid row, and create a social enterprise/job training program.
