The City has over 1,000 VASH vouchers to house homeless veterans in 2015.

Call for Artists - Power of Art
|
For centuries, artists have been pushed to the side, disrespected and taken advantage of for their talent. This is especially true in Los Angeles. But
enough is enough. It is time to bring opportunity to artists and bring them out of the shadows.
Power of Art is unveiling LA's soul in the streets. We have successfully fought to secure mural access to over 4,000 signal boxes in Los Angeles.
