It makes no sense to have the smoking area on the 4th floor shared with the Covid-19 positive patients & the QUARANTINED Covid-19 negative patients. The staff here needs to be more strict and educated on Covid-19. As a participant in the LA Cada program it upsets me that individuals who are employed at the LA Mission don’t wear their mask around Covid-19 positive patients and fail to understand that the virus also lives on surfaces for a certain amount of time. I’m in the program to build my life not place it on pause and not be able to attend work, it’s very frustrating how this facility is ran during the outbreak. They are placing not only peoples lives at jeopardy but their source of income. I have a child and a baby mother who needs my financial support I cannot support them if I get Covid. Please either be more strick on staff or get rid of the ones who don’t respect others lives. Despite the Covid-19 outbreak this place is a great place to rebuild your life, they are currently upgrading the facility to newer amenities which makes your style of living more comfortable as this is a transitional period of a lot of the men that walk through these doors.

Beautiful work they are doing here. Please support them and look into the services they provide and the level of care, kindness and love they lead with rehabilitating and stabilizing the unhoused community. The state should literally give these people 50% of their budget to create facilities throughout Southern California

Im thankful if youre offering me some sort of assistance.

Because of COVID-19, The Answer is Somewhat Complicated, YES you can stay there in the (Los Angeles Mission Side for Males), and YES (Anne Douglas Center side for Female's) but Only if you enroll in their One year (13 Months actually) Christian Drug Rehabilitation Program, which is no nonsense and somewhat strict, but is a rewarding experience that gives you a place to live, 3 meals a day, brand new clothing in many cases, and a path to independence after graduation of the program

michael robinson | Aug 22, 2020
george Sotel | Aug 22, 2020

No. Men are put into one part of the los Angeles mission while women are put into another separate part of the mission. But no families can live there. For that type of situation the Rescue Mission on San Pedro Street is well suited where mothers live with their children. However, the father will still need to live separately from them in the men's section.

They only feed you breakfast and lunch. No dinner if your not in a program. They give everyone air mattresses that are filthy and get flat in a couple of hours. Wake up is at 5am breakfast is 8am.
