“When COVID-19 hit, the demand for our existing services actually increased — such as health care, support for LGBTQ seniors and homeless youth, legal services, and policy advocacy. Plus, we saw new needs emerge, including growing numbers of people who had lost their jobs and were struggling to get enough food,” said the center’s CEO Lorri L. Jean.

“KTLA is proud to support the Los Angeles LGBT Center during this time. The work they do is remarkable, and we are committed to supporting our diverse community through our partnership,” said KTLA VP and General Manager Janene Drafs.
