As temperatures drop, a nonprofit offers 24/7 services in Skid Row.
Urban Alchemy is providing climate stations on Towne, San Pedro, and Maple/5th Streets in Skid Row for unhoused people.
The stations offer essential supplies and support during these challenging winter months. The organization offers space heaters, serves warm beverages, provides food, socks and more for those in need.
Many nonprofit volunteers and practitioners share lived experiences with those they serve.
During the summer months, they provide fans instead of space heaters. The organization also has shelters like the Safe Sleep Village, which is run by Roberto Gonzalez, who was formerly incarcerated.
Urban Alchemy receives funding from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) through Homeless Healthcare Los Angeles.
