Description
LTSC was founded in 1970 by a group of Japanese American activists who wanted to form a multipurpose social service center. LTSC aimed to provide linguistically and culturally sensitive social services to the Little Tokyo community and the broader Japanese American community in Southern California. In the 1980s, in response to the loss of affordable housing units in Little Tokyo, LTSC became involved in a grassroots campaign to preserve affordable housing and eventually formed its community development arm in 1994.
