Central Los Angeles : Community Center Offers Jobs, Training
The first resident-managed community center in a South-Central Los Angeles housing project is now open.
The Jordan Downs Multipurpose Community Center, in the Jordan Downs project in Watts, is run by a residents’ group, the Resident Management Council.
City Housing Authority officials say the resident-managed center is one solution to the local jobs shortage. The center not only employs people who live within the project but also provides a facility for job training.
Sandra Raye, the facility manager, said the center has a new computer lab with 12 stations, each equipped to teach all levels of reading.
