Los Angeles

In partnership with the Daughters of Charity, Depaul USA now operates in Los Angeles, CA!

On any given day more than 69,000 women, men and children experience homelessness in Los Angeles County.  Depaul USA and the Daughters of Charity formed a working group to discern what could be done to address this daunting problem. The working group, comprised of Daughters of Charity, homeless service practitioners and representatives of Depaul USA as well as the local Vincentian family, opened a day center in the Westlake neighborhood as the first project in Los Angeles.
