Below are resources available through Labor Community Services (LCS), a partner of the LA County Federation of Labor.
Housing Assistance:
LCS can assist with first and last-month rental assistance and help find permanent, long-term housing. Please note: LCS cannot assist with deposits.
For those needing temporary housing, please visit the American Red Cross website to find a shelter near your area. Staff on-site can assist you if you need permanent, long-term housing.
To qualify for rental, mortgage, or utility assistance, please submit copies of the following:
- 3-Day Notice or Foreclosure Documentation
- Copy of a Utility Bill
- Disconnection Notice
- Proof of Income demonstrating the union member’s ability to make payments moving forward.
For union members needing assistance, please complete the LCS Assistance Intake Form available at https://lcs-la.org. Submit the completed form along with the required supporting documentation to marcos@lcs-la.org.
Utilities:
For union members with outstanding utility bills (e.g., electricity, gas, or water), LCS can assist with those bills.
Food:
We can provide union members with boxes of food. These boxes are prepared by fellow union members and can feed a family of four.
Air Quality:
The air quality across Southern California will be significantly impacted for an extended period. If you have respiratory concerns, we encourage the use of high-quality face masks. LCS can provide these masks for distribution to union members in need.
