About Project Home
In Fall 2010, the Downtown Women’s Center will open its new home at 434 S. San Pedro Street
in downtown Los Angeles. Project Home is a 67,000 square foot , six-story structure to house 71 units of
permanent, assisted-living housing for homeless and low-income women, a community kitchen to serve 3500
women annually, a comprehensive free medical clinic and a social-enterprise retail space featuring “recycle/re-
use” household and boutique items. The opening of Project Home will reflect the culmination of a $35Million
capital development that would not be possible without the generous participation of the many individuals who
have contributed their time, talent and dollars toward meeting the needs of homeless women in the Skid Row
area of Los Angeles.
The Project Home Campaign now approaches completion -- 80% of its fundraising goal has been met! In
celebration of this milestone, the Downtown Women Center has planned an Art Walk Event, to take place in the
art-filled community of South Pasadena. The event provides opportunity for the many supporters of the
Downtown Women’s Center to explore South Pasadena’s gallery venues, and enjoy both the fine works of local
artists and the pleasant pedestrian community that is South Pasadena.
