On August 26, 2023, LA County’s Film Office, LA City and other regional and local partners hosted a Resource Fair at the History for Hire Prop House for actors, writers, performers, workers and small businesses impacted by the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes. At this event, attendees got help connecting with and signing up for services such as temporary employment, financial assistance, CalFresh, and mental health services.

The EWDD team was in attendance to provide knowledge about the City’s employment and business resources. Attendees showed great interest in starting their own businesses and seeking part-time work, with a particular focus on visiting the WorkSource and BusinessSource Centers for assistance.
