Homeless Women In L.A. - Providing Services for Their Unique Needs
AirTalk host Larry Mantle goes to the Downtown Women's Center in Los Angeles to look at what leads to women's homelessness. The DWC was established in 1978 and was the first to serve elderly and mentally ill homeless women on LA's Skid Row. The Center owns and operates a drop-in day facility and permanent affordable housing. Mantle and experts will discuss the unique support services needed to help homeless women achieve self-sufficiency and examine the challenges specific to homeless women living in downtown Los Angeles.
