Our expungement services in Los Angeles are valuable for low-income community members because a criminal record can pose significant barriers to better employment, stable housing, and higher education.

LACDMH’s Promoters Program aims to reduce mental health stigma throughout Los Angeles County — particularly in historically underserved cultural and linguistic communities — by increasing awareness about mental health issues, removing barriers, and improving timely access to culturally and linguistically appropriate resources.

Trauma is the most frequent diagnosis across our clinics. Trauma, when unaddressed, can lead to higher rates of many social ills, including substance abuse, depression, poverty, anxiety, suicide, poor physical health, and even premature death. Further, underserved and low-income individuals face higher rates of mental illness, creating a cycle of deprivation and instability.

Our holistic, trauma-informed approach addresses the full picture of a client’s experience and works to stabilize all areas of their life. By working to alleviate the social and economic circumstances that can prevent people from reaching and maintaining healthy futures, we create pathways for more positive and lasting outcomes. The end result is that clients are able to lead happier, healthier, more self-sufficient lives where hope thrives.  

The LACDA’s core pillars include affordable housing, and community and economic development.  The agency’s wide-ranging programs benefit residents and business owners in the unincorporated Los Angeles County areas and in various incorporated cities that participate in different programs (these cities are called “participating cities”).  According to the 2010 U.S. Census, more than one million of the County’s nearly ten million residents live in unincorporated areas.

The LIFE (Low-Income Fare is Easy) Program helps qualifying LA County residents save on paying their fares. Once you’re in the program, you can purchase discounted passes or load free regional rides with your TAP card.
