With so many people effected by the pandemic, the state of the world, general health, the fires, the economy and wellness as well as the job market I've known/know many people who benefit from organizations like LAFH - who seem to be the most thorough, compassionate and active in Los Angeles. I've been lucky enough to help with on site gardening #greenthumb, homeless connect days, donation kits and even fundraising. I've connected with several staff, employees, security, affiliates and those seeking services and toured the facilities at their home base/main location in North Hollywood on Lankershim Blvd. I learn something new every week, and look for ways to be involved as well as encourage others to be involved. Visit their website under take action to become involved as a volunteer or connect to services if you need them or know someone who needs them. They also are actively hiring and growing their staff to better serve the Los Angeles community #GiveBack

They have an information center, resource center, restrooms, showers, garden and offer a lot of opportunities for those facing hardship, poverty, hunger, and homelessness by offering immediate assistance as well as long-term solutions. I recently volunteered her via LA Family Housing partnering up with Hope the Mission/Hope of the Valley for a homeless connect day where they also provided a career and education fair, complimentary hot meals, beverages, hygiene kits, pet food, pet blankets, blankets, towels, clothing, haircuts and lots of great things for everyone including volunteers like myself. Parking can be accessed on Sherman Way or Radford (where Maps will take you) as well as via street parking. It's one of the cleanest and most well kept up centers I've ever come across and the host a ton of events here each month.

Lauri B. - in response to your message, my review isn't based on the services offered- services offered were greatly appreciated and the work you all do is appreciated and admired. The review is stating the fact that the facility was closed- my loved one called me saying "they might close us down" and the next day I received a call that my loved one thankfully was fortunate to be able to find placement at another facility. I hadn't seen the news footage about what was going on but what was told to my loved one by staff.

I have been in treatment five times now since 2022. I have my name hidden on here, but my name is…read moreAllison. I can genuinely say that the best part of treatment at this facility was talking to the program director David. After five rehabs, it's incredibly rare for someone to show so much interest in whether you're actually bipolar or have an anxiety disorder... And then make that a priority to figure it out... I've been at high quality, luxury, "whatever" rehabs, and absolutely none of them did that for me. None of them cared enough, but this person did immediately... At a Medi-Cal rehab... That just doesn't happen.... trust me. That's just somebody who actually f*cking cares. On Thanksgiving, I was at the program and I cried all day, depressed out of my mind, until the director came and made a few of us clients feel very seen and heard, very appropriately so, I might add. He came out of his way on a major holiday just to visit the clients. Do I need to say anything more to that? I also am a certified drug and alcohol detox technician so I know how the job is done, I know this industry inside and out, and even though I can definitely say that these employees (the techs here) did not do their best lol... The program director was the only reason I stayed. He was motivating, made me feel seen, heard, and like I wasn't invisible. And I know you're gonna freaking hate reading this but after five rehabs, he's the only man who has not attempted to lay a finger on me. Ever. Not once. I'm just heard and respected. It blows my mind as well. I have never ever been made to feel uncomfortable. My therapist and my program director David were the only reasons that I stayed at this place. It's crazy how you can go to a Medi-Cal rehab and find the perfect program director and the perfect therapist... and yeah, you pay thousands of dollars for these bougie rehabs and they can't give you any of that. There were decent problems here, yes... But they could all be revived by the program director and how much he cares about his clients. It makes me cry how much he genuinely cared. With no ulterior motives at all. We need more people like David in the business of recovery and we need more therapists like mine who keep it soooo f*cking real with you. My experience was good and bad, but it was good because of these two people. And the food. The food was awesome. And my stay here was highly impactful due to these two people as well, and as a veteran of going in and out of rehabs and recovery lol, this really really really matters. You should come here for David and the therapists, specifically. They made me want to stay sober.

There were people coughing, talking to themselves wandering through every aisle, which made me feel uneasy and constantly looking over my shoulder. I originally came to exchange an item from a different location because I thought this store might have a better selection, but that wasn't the case. There is also what looks like a homeless encampment along the street side of the store. Inside, there were people hanging out at the dining tables (for sale), which made it hard for actual shoppers to move around. I even saw at least two people stuffing items into duffle bags. The exchange process was quick and easy, and the staff handled that part well. However, the store really needs some type of security at the door to better manage who comes in and prevent the issues happening inside.
