URM to open Four Winter Shelters on Dec. 1st
URM, through our EIMAGO public benefit charity, supported by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, will open 4 Winter Shelters on Monday, Dec. 1, in Burbank, West LA, Culver City and downtown LA, with an additional 660 beds opening for our friends who are homeless.
These additional shelters and beds are a lifesaving step to get people out of the rain and cold from Dec. 1 through March 15. This is also an opportunity to connect people who are homeless with services that will encourage them to move out of homelessness as many folks did last winter, including Betty, an elderly lady who now resides in permanent supportive housing at URM’s Hope Gardens, and Rod who enrolled in URM’s year long program downtown.
“Despite tough economic times and because of the great need, URM is stepping out in faith to meet the growing need,” CEO Andy Bales stated. “We need the support of the local communities to make these winter shelters places of comfort and healing.
