LAPD Mission

Founded in 1985 by director-performer-activist John Malpede, Los Angeles Poverty Department (LAPD) is a non-profit arts organization, the first performance group in the nation made up principally of homeless people, and the first arts program of any kind for homeless people in Los Angeles.

LAPD’s works express the realities, hopes, dreams and rights of people who live and work in L.A.’s Skid Row.
