LA Neighbors for Neighbors

It's infuriating that this is necessary: This sweet fam w/pregnant mama and baby is unhoused and was turned away by @StJosephCtr. We raised $800 for 3 nights, food and diapers. We're following every lead on housing, but need help to extend their stay: gofund.me/5a5c3d06

Many thanks to these service providers who joined us on Saturday! @BetTzedek @BikeRoWave @foodforcomrades @HOUSINGMV1 @LACDMH @laundrytruckla @metrolosangeles @LAHomeless @ndindi @SBMACareClub @UCLAHealth @UHRInitiative And of course, our host Saint Bede's Church!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our last Resource Center! We welcomed 60 guests, 54 volunteers, and lots of amazing service providers, including new SP @laundrytruckla. We're taking June off - see you in July! Check out our newsletter for more 👇 mailchi.mp/3c540ae5d75c/w…

Help us get solar-powered products to unhoused neighbors! Our friends at @UHRInitiative are partnering with @unitetolight for a "buy one give one" fundraiser. Buy a solar-powered charger or light and they'll give one for our guests! unitetolight.org/buy-one--give-…

We loved having you there @AdamOfTheSmiths!

☀️Thanks to all the volunteers, service providers & guests who joined us for the last Resource Center on Saturday! It was a warm, beautiful day & we were excited to welcome new service providers like @UCLASteinEye Our latest newsletter: opencollective.com/lan4n/updates/…

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: Pathways to PERMANENT HOUSING Review📣 🏘️ How effective are permanent housing efforts?  We’re starting an assessment of the efforts of Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) & other service providers to place unhoused Angelenos in permanent housing.

The next Resource Center is this Saturday! Our unhoused neighbors live disconnected from services & are constantly displaced by the City through sweeps. This is a chance to bring folks back together & build community. Join us! laneighbors.org/resource-center

Unhoused people are regularly misled, lied to, harassed, and traumatized in their interactions with city/county providers. Any initiative that rushes to move them inside without taking the time to build trust and figure out how to meet their needs is setting itself up to fail.

I will be dropping a full end of year recap on our @opencollect page soon, but until then... we diverted 15977 pounds of food from a landfill this year, and made 934 meals since October :)

If @MayorOfLA and @LACityCouncil truly cared about the unhoused living in our streets, they would be on high alert providing warm clothes and protective gear to everyone in need tonight and this week. Jus sayin'

@heddi @NarroVictor Thank you! We’ve received $500 and purchased 10 tents that will all arrive Friday for distro before the next big storm

@NarroVictor Did it. Happily contributed to the tent. Thanks for the share!

Please donate if you can. Unlike LA City Hall and LA City Council, this group is trying to save lives this week.

Help us replace tents in CD5 and CD11: twitter.com/laneighbors4al…

Every $50 buys a “used, like new” Coleman 4-person tent. Thank you for helping folks stay dry in this rain! We’ve bought four tents so far and will receive them by Friday before the next storm.

The 🌧️ is coming. The sweeps continue unabated. And there are no winter shelters in sight. Contribute to our ⛺️ fund so we can help folks stay warm & dry on the Westside: LAN4N Guest Requests - Amazon Custom Gift List - amazon.com/registries/cus…

Ivar & Selma, CD13, 1:01PM: Hugo said 41.18 zones in his district will NOT be enforced. Hugo is a liar.
