This week we will get to work on the City’s annual budget. The question is: “What will it do for South Los Angeles where most African Americans in our city live?”
Central Neighborhood Health Foundation (CNHF) has operated as a designated Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) since September 2010. The organization is dedicated to addressing the health care needs of low income, uninsured families and individuals across South Los Angeles. CNHF has partnered with Los Angeles Ninth District City Councilman, Curren Price to offer free COVID-19 testing to all of the residents in South Central Los Angeles regardless of their ability to pay. This effort was launched because COVID-19 is infecting and killing African Americans and Latinos at alarming rates. Kenneth Orduna, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of CNHF said,
Stone and five others created the California Black Chamber of Commerce in 1995 with the mission of providing programs and services to strengthen Black ownership and business opportunities throughout the state.
