Jon Visits Skid Row

Jon Bon Jovi spent the afternoon on Monday touring the infamous ‘Skid Row’ and it’s housing initiative the ‘Lamp Community’. Jon was accompanied by Steve Lopez, the LA Times writer whose column about a cellist with schizophrenia inspired the film 'The Soloist' (pictured with Jon).

‘Lamp’ is a nonprofit that helps people living with severe mental illness move from the streets to homes. Once settled in their home, new tenants are surrounded with customized services such as mental health treatment, drug recovery, healthcare, budgeting, visual and performing arts, job opportunities, and other supports to help them achieve their goals and become a part of their community.

KTLA TV had a report on this visit:
