Skid Row Gets a Fresh Look

June 17, 2010

The Skid Row Housing Trust hosted its grand opening of The Charles Cobb Apartments this June, providing 74 residential homes to individuals experiencing chronic homelessness and disability. I was honored to donate my time alongside designer Suzanne Furst and Marlaina Rosen to create one-of-a-kind murals in the building’s communal kitchen. Three brightly colored palm-tree murals gave the space a burst of color and energy. Our donation was just one of the many contributions provided for this remarkable development.

The Skid Row Housing Trust develops and operates homes for the homeless of Los Angeles, while connecting its residents to services to help them move beyond poverty, illness and addiction. These services include mental health treatment, substance abuse recovery, primary healthcare and more.
