Leonide Hotel / Chrysalis - 1905 (Los Angeles, California)

USA / California / Vernon / Los Angeles, California / South Main Street, 512
 charitable organization, apartment hotel / serviced apartment, community centre / hall, employment / recruitment / jobs agency
Opened as a budget hotel in 1905.
Refurbished and reopened 100 hundred years later as a community resource center.
Chrysalis is a non-profit foundation which began in 1984 as a food and clothing distribution center serving homeless men and women living on the streets of Los Angeles' Skid Row.
As the agency grew it became clear that longer-term solutions were needed in order to eradicate poverty and homelessness. Chrysalis developed an effective and nationally recognized program to help homeless people become job ready and ultimately find and retain employment.
For 2009, the Chrysalis center has been given something of a face lift, with a new pink and green color scheme.
