The Shaw Community Transformation Corporation dba Creating Justice LA

Creating Justice LA is building community wealth through social and economic innovation in Skid Row. Our main program, The Peace and Healing Center, enters its third year of offering a free third space full of resources, programming, and belonging. Through developing employment social enterprises like Skid Row People's Market, a neighborhood grocery store offering EBT-accessible healthy goods, we are investing into local community health - prioritizing dignified work, the arts, peace, and food equity.

The Creating Justice LA Peace & Healing Center is a free public space for rest and connection with self and others. Amidst the stress of Skid Row, community members enter our space immediately resonating with its purpose and the void of safe public space it fills. Known as a third space with “no drama”, this culture is the bedrock upon which the community collides lovingly with one another.
