DAILY NEWS : NORTH HOLLYWOOD HOMELESS SHELTER BURNS TO THE GROUND picture of firemen fighting blaze.
"The displaced residents, from seven or eight families, were being housed in emergency shelter provided by the American Red Cross, the mission’s Stacy Miller said.
About 60 percent of the shelter’s residents are children under the age of 12, she said.
In addition to the facility’s residences, the warehouse hub for the mission’s three thrift stores was also destroyed, Miller said. That effectively eliminates the sales that provide 50 percent of the shelter’s annual revenue.
The blaze also destroyed the mission’s food preparation area, where 42,000 meals were put together each year, and its fleet of vehicles, which provide meals and mobile showers to 1,700 people each month through an outreach program called S.O.S., she said.
“Our ability to do that is ruined,” Miller said."
