Transforming L.A.
Exciting news!! We have been chosen for The Incubation Academy Partnership/ Transforming L.A. grant, which was organized by L.A. County Dept. of Mental Health, Community Partners, Center for Strategic Partnerships, Supervisor Janice Hahn and The Weingart Foundation. They chose the organizations in the community to help develop their business model and expand their reach. We will be attending 6 seminars to help build our company followed by a financial grant, where we’ll be working downtown L.A. at sites that include the L.A. Public Library and the Historic General Hospital!
