As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the California Safer at Home Initiative, the aging population and those individuals with disabilities have a need to receive their vital necessities while continuing to shelter in place at home and reduce their exposure to the virus. The Los Angeles County Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services (WDACS) Adult Protective Services Program and Planning Division in collaboration with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), launched the Critical Delivery Services (CDS) program. The CDS delivers groceries and other vital necessities to this vulnerable population at no cost.
