LA CAN’s Coronavirus Rapid Response: During the COVID-19 outbreak, we are putting our phone-charging efforts on hold and focusing on a campaign to bring much-needed handwashing stations to the streets of Skid Row. Please join us!
Skid Row residents face many challenges when going online, from finding access to phones and computers to keeping these devices charged up, functional, and connected. Skid Row Power is a collaborative that brings together the LA Community Action Network (LA CAN), community members, and researchers from USC Annenberg to design, build, and deploy creative approaches that empower Skid Row residents to stay digitally connected.
Our vision
Co-design research anchors our collaborative approach. To create lasting change, we believe it is essential to work together to understand obstacles, design and test practical solutions, and develop community practices around those solutions.
