WATCH: LA This Week - L.A. REPAIR at the Downtown Women's Center

The Downtown Women's Center and LA Civil Rights celebrates a $500,000 L.A. REPAIR grant that will expand services for women experiencing homelessness. The funding will help provide essential resources, including meals, showers, case management, and other daily necessities, while also supporting longer-term services such as mental health care, job readiness, and employment assistance. For many women, the Downtown Women's Center provides a safe and supportive environment, connecting them with resources designed to promote stability, recovery, and long-term housing. The grant was awarded through LA REPAIR (Reforms for Equity and Public Acknowledgement of Institutional Racism), a participatory budgeting initiative that gives Los Angeles residents the opportunity to help decide how City funds are invested in their communities.
