“The People Concern helps people like me”

“The People Concern is actually doing something to help people. People like me, just want to feel like people care about us. That’s ultimately what’s important – a person feeling like they are cared about. The People Concern is great for people who find themselves in a situation where they are no longer in a home. Here they are assisted by having a place to lay their head, a shower and three meals a day. It hurts me to see the tent out on the sidewalk. I wish we didn’t have as much homelessness as we do,” says Chris a program participant at El Puente, one of The People Concern’s interim housing facilities located in Downtown L.A.
