Former gang members add solar to safe house in Los Angeles

After waiting for years, Homeboy Industries, a nonprofit that provides training and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women, goes solar. The project, originally launched in 2014, involves a multitude of partners, ranging from: Everybody Solar a nonprofit dedicated to raising funds to help other community-serving nonprofits go solar, to TrapDoor Social an alternative rock band that incorporates social activism into their work , and Grid Alternatives a nonprofit that helps provide job training and solar to underserved communities. The project faced delays when it was discovered the roof needed repair.
