Please Support Immigrant who have been Impacted Fires in the Los Angeles

 As we see the devastation that has happened throughout Los Angeles, we feel for all the people displaced by these fires. Many of the people who worked in this communities live in our communities, our immigrant babysitters, day laborers, and house keepers. These families are devastated and unemployed. Many are reaching out to us for support. In our last survey, 70% said they need a jobs while about 5% have lost their homes. While 70% said they need food. Most of the resources have been focused families that work in the affected areas who live in the communities of Pico Union, Koreatown and Weslake, the predominant immigrant communities of Los Angeles Homies Unidos serves.

Thanks to the Koreatown YMCA, Los Angeles California Rising, and Salvadoran Corridor for the donations.

We have been supporting some of these shelters with water and other needs. But we expect that there will be a big need for our families who have lost their jobs and homes and any saved funds will be exhausted.

Homies Unidos is requesting donations to our Hardship Funds to be distributed to families who need housing, food and other needs. Homies Unidos will pay directly for hotels, Landlords, and service providers directly. Homies Unidos will also be providing supplies for clean-up efforts. We will also continue surveying impacted people in the migrant communities to stay adaptive to their needs.
