Los Angeles Mission

LA Mission’s Sky Farm seeks to provide nutritious locally grown food and community sustained agriculture for low-income and unhoused residents of Skid Row and Metro LA. Our long-range goal is to encourage sustainable economic development to the people we serve by enabling them to start their own small micro-enterprise operations in the food or agriculture sectors while promoting local urban permaculture and food resiliency. Program participants will be trained in hydroponic gardening, community wellness, and food preparation & nutrition.

The people we serve have experienced chronic homelessness and poverty. Our new workforce center will create pathways to new tech careers that will help end the cycle of poverty for them and their families. LA Mission’s workforce development space is a 25,000-square-foot, two-story building in the heart of Skid Row and will attract 300 people per day to workforce development training and education. LA Mission has brought on strategic partnerships with key corporate employers and partners including AT&T, Cisco, CVS, UPS, and Target.

Through Dignity by Design at Los Angeles Mission we're transforming the recovery and housing experience of the homeless by creating a livable space that fosters recovery, encourages community, and connects the homeless with services, housing, education, and training that break the cycle of poverty and homelessness.
