New two-year project looks at needs of L.A.’s chronically homeless

The Myth of Trickle-Down Innovation
Architect Magazine: Designers of ultra-luxury apartment buildings may hope that the innovative research supported by their big budgets can also help to improve affordable housing. But there’s little evidence supporting the claim.
Happy Holidays from the Trust!
This holiday season we look back at 2016 with gratitude, thankful for the amazing people and organizations that invested in housing and support to end chronic homelessness. Last spring we celebrated the grand opening of The Six in MacArthur Park, and over the summer we were the beneficiaries of the Psomas Paper Yacht Challenge. This fall we launched the Skid Row Denim Academy to create new advocates for solutions to homelessness. The campaign for Measure HHH launched at our New Genesis Apartments, which passed with 76% of the vote thanks to your support. We promoted permanent supportive housing and innovative design whenever possible, and – most importantly – provided homes to over 1,800 people who have struggled or are at-risk of homelessness.
In 2017 we will continue working to end and prevent homelessness, an effort that will require the support and participation of the entire community. Now is the time to get involved. Make a contribution today at skidrow.org/give. Every donation creates more homes and expands supportive services that help residents achieve long-term success.
