Profile: Chrysalis

For 25 years, nonprofit organization Chrysalis has helped over 30,000 people out of homelessness and poverty and on to the path toward self-sufficiency at three centers located throughout Los Angeles County where poverty is most pervasive: downtown Los Angeles (Skid Row), Santa Monica, and in the San Fernando Valley (Pacoima).

It is no secret that the current economic landscape is disheartening and challenging, but Chrysalis has weathered many downturns in the economy over the past quarter of a century. These current conditions highlight the importance of Chrysalis' services in the Los Angeles community and emphasize the need to address poverty and joblessness.
