Lucy Varpetian, the group’s chairperson, said that the association’s outreach through its membership and Armenian media contacts is essential.

The program includes homeless outreach teams, financial assistance for tenants at risk of eviction and funds for roughly 3,200 interim housing beds.

The Los Angeles Police Department increased foot patrols in the neighborhood, and deployed mental health outreach workers and teams to aid those overdosing on drugs.

The program culminates in a an outreach activity, a digital media project and a pageant during the organization's annual Black Queer Advancement Festival, slated for the final week of April.
