Many in LA County have lost and are continuing to lose family and community to COVID-19. While many more are afraid because they’ve lost their jobs, may lose their homes, and the unsure future.
I hope the information and resources below will help to inform and empower your community and you during these “interesting times” I hope that you’ll take this as a call to action to protect your communities, your family and you as both LA County and the State of California move forward during and after this COVID-19 pandemic.
