We have the only emergency shelter in Los Angeles County that is culturally specialized to serve Asian and Pacific Islander survivors.
You are welcomed to a safe, secure, and comfortable place. Staying at the shelter is free, and we will provide you with basic necessities such as food, clothing, and toiletries.
