The Traveler’s Aid Society of Los Angeles (TASLA) recently conducted a community needs assessment to identify what types of social services are offered in Los Angeles County, including what gaps in services exist, and how well TASLA’s target population (individuals and families who are stranded in transit and who are in danger of homelessness), are being served. Over 20 agencies throughout the Greater LA area – with an emphasis on Downtown and the Hollywood area – responded to the assessment. For the most part, agency respondents felt that there are adequate services provided to their client base. TASLA, however, noted that their client base consistently sites laundry services, dental care, and eye care as services that are needed in the community but hard to find. The Hollywood Community Studio is interested in hearing from YOU about this topic. Do you think Hollywood has enough services to help its vulnerable populations? Yes? No? Why or why not? What could be done to better assist our struggling residents? If you want to learn more about TASLA and their services, check out their website here!
