In a push to bring the stories of Skid Row to the public and in public spaces, the L.A. Poverty Department is performing their latest show, The Covid Hotel Welcomes You to the Future, in Boyle Heights. The show is based on the stories of first responders and the unhoused during Covid. Following the performance, a panel discussion, “Reimagining Healthcare For Our Homeless Community,” will feature L.A. County medical experts.
