A few months ago, in our newsletter, we introduced you to our Historic Core Downtown LA outreach coordinator, Araceli.
In the last few months, Araceli has worked with a 23-year-old from Arizona, seeking shelter and a new life in Los Angeles.
We are happy to report that thanks to Araceli this young man is well on his way to becoming fully self-sufficient and working as a food delivery biker. Read the full story below.
We are so proud of you, Araceli!

City Council Survey Regarding Public Safety
A survey released Tuesday by Council President Nury Martinez, along with Councilmen Herb Wesson, Marqueece Harris-Dawson, Curren Price and Bob Blumenfield, includes questions about respondents’ personal views on police, including whether an increased police presence makes them feel safer and whether they believe an unarmed model of crisis response is appropriate for nonviolent incidents.
This is your chance to make your voice heard. CBS reported on the story, to read more click here.

The L.A. Barber College Needs Your Help!
A while back we introduced you to the young hopeful barbers from the L.A. Barber College. They were struggling in January, so they set up a GoFundMe, but since the COVID19 Pandemic began in March their funds have been massively depleted.
Jose and Blanca Polanco, along with administrator Michelle Matthews, have dedicated nearly 15 years to the school. Currently, their 5,000 students have no idea if their school will survive the pandemic. The school additionally gives back to the community by donating haircuts. Their programming is a success and they’re an essential part of our Historic Core community and DTLA.
You can help today by sharing their story, or if you can donate here.
Check out the story NBC4 recently published and meet the talented alumni here.
