The Official Grand Opening of House of Do Good #2 in Wilmington!
On March 19th, we had the honor of standing alongside community leaders, advocates, survivors, and partners as we celebrated the grand opening of House of Do Good #2 in Wilmington! It was a moment that represented so much more than just opening the doors to new transitional housing. It represented hope, healing, safety, and a commitment to families who deserve the opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity and support.
At the Do Good Daniels Family Foundation, we believe that housing is more than shelter. It is the foundation for healing, growth, and transformation. House of Do Good #2 was created specifically to support women and children who have experienced domestic violence and human trafficking by providing a safe and stable environment paired with trauma-informed wraparound services.
Seeing this vision come to life was incredibly emotional for us because we know the impact safe spaces can have on individuals and families navigating trauma and instability. Every room, every resource, and every service at House of Do Good #2 was intentionally designed to create an environment rooted in care, empowerment, and long-term independence.
The property itself includes five standalone homes with multiple bedrooms, kitchens, recreation spaces, washers and dryers, and family-centered amenities that allow residents to feel comfortable, respected, and supported. But what truly makes this house special is the people behind it including trained Shelter Advocates, Case Managers, and staff who are committed to walking alongside residents every step of the way.
Families entering the program will receive weekly case management, support groups, wellness services, life-skills development, and access to culturally responsive and trauma-informed care. Our goal is not only to provide immediate shelter, but to create pathways toward healing, stability, and self-sufficiency.
One of the most powerful moments of the day came when a former resident of House of Do Good #1 — who is now a staff member — shared her story. Hearing firsthand how safe housing and compassionate support transformed her life was a reminder of why this work matters so deeply. Her words reflected the heart of this program: people need more than services; they need belief, community, and opportunity.
We were also honored to have elected officials, nonprofit leaders, and community stakeholders join us for the celebration, including representatives from Los Angeles City Councilmember Tim McOsker’s office, CIFD General Manager Abigale Marquez, Senator Laura Richardson’s office, Supervisor Janice Hahn’s office, the Mayor’s Office, the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, and Harbor Connects. Their presence reinforced the importance of collaboration in addressing housing insecurity and supporting survivors throughout our communities.
The opening of House of Do Good #2 is not the finish line — it is another step forward in our commitment to serving vulnerable families, supporting trauma recovery, and building stronger communities grounded in compassion and action. We look forward to witnessing the healing, resilience, and transformation that will take place within these walls for years to come.
