CNK Director Paul Ong was featured in a recent article by LAist on the lack of accessible laundry services in Chinatown. The piece highlights how many low-income and elderly residents must travel outside the neighborhood or rely on limited alternatives.
Ong emphasized that this reflects broader patterns of inequality, noting that essential services often disappear from underserved communities and disproportionately impact “low-income, financially stressed households.”
