MISSING PERSONS ALERT !!!
Sharing "MISSING PERSONS ALERTS"
Sharing "missing persons" alerts and updates with the hope of connecting loved ones back together is a vital tool in searching for the "missing" so we post on our social media pages as well as posting on our websites: www.skidrowkyo.org and www.ltdanceclub.org
Ground search and canvassing the streets
Unfortunately thousands of people are reported missing. Tens of thousands of people (or more) are missing but not reported. Skid Row is always a FOCUS area for the search of the missing ((as well as places like Mac Arthur Park) as it's probably the densest concentration of MISSING PERSONS in DTLA...
WARNING !!! HAVE A PLAN...
Here is a fact, a large part of our HOMELESS population in Los Angeles are MISSING PERSONS. Problem with SEARCHING for a MISSING PERSONS in Skid Row (aside from obvious dangers - not a safe place) a very high percentage of the people on Skid Row or various encampments are HIDING OUT and don't want to be FOUND. So people SEARCHING will encounter many challenges. Our Skid Row-kyo Mission when on the ground in Skid Row employs non traditional trust building strategies and tactics when engaging with the unhoused community, I would highly recommend anyone that is planning on going to Skid Row or any neighborhood in LA really think it through and have a plan... Like mentioned before, a large percentage of people on the streets ARE HIDING OUT or are up to nefarious activities and DO NOT welcome attention...
Voluntarily Missing...
Unfortunately a large portion of our unhoused community can be classified as voluntarily missing. We can only hope and pray the LOST will someday be reunited with family and loved ones. Or at a minimum "closure" to tragic realities when people go missing...
