United Methodist Ministries Los Angeles District (UMLADD), Coalition for Responsible Community Development (CRCD) and LTSC celebrated a groundbreaking at the Epworth Apartments site on December 14, 2010 in South Los Angeles.

When completed the apartments will be for low-income transition aged youth who are homeless with a severe emotional disorder or mental illness. The project has four main goals: a) expand the affordable housing stock for transition aged youth; b) build high performing, energy efficient structures which are especially lacking in impoverished neighborhoods; c) promote environmental conservation and awareness among youth who reside at the project; and d) provide workforce development to meet the needs of the youth.

UMLADD, CRCD and LTSC are grateful to all of our funders who made this project possible.

LTSC thanks the Verizon Foundation for its generous $50,000 grant to support the DISKovery Angelina Family and Youth Digital Literacy program (DAFYDL). These funds will not only help DISKovery Angelina integrate digital literacy into its Family Literacy, EL Civics and ESL courses - it will also create a slate of new youth technology and media programming. Beginning in 2011, we will offer teens classes on topics such as stop-motion animation, digital photography and more. We will also bring our Digital Institute for Youth Media (DIY Media) digital storytelling program to Angelina.

The Verizon Foundation works to improve literacy, increase health and safety, and prevent domestic violence through giving grants, as well as creating valuable community resources such as the free Thinkfinity curriculum database. LTSC appreciates the Foundation's support, which will aid DISKovery Angelina in providing literacy and 21st Century technology skills to underserved communities. Thank you, Verizon Foundation!
