Lamp Community

DGS is proud to be building a new relationship with an outstanding Los
Angeles organization: Lamp Community. Their Build-a-Village campaign,
helping men and women with severe disabilities move from streets to
homes, aims to end chronic homelessness and transform lives. We helped
put together their campaign booklet, featuring cover art by residents
participating in their support services.
