The Los Angeles County Emergency Food and Shelter Local Board is comprised of 25 member agencies.  Membership includes our seven mandated members, grassroots organizations, a homeless representative, large social service agencies, faith based organizations, a non-profit legal organization, government agencies and technical assistance organizations.  It was the intent of the Local Board to ensure that all populations and all needs of the population we serve were represented.
