LOS ANGELES - eTradeWire -- After living in her car for 20 years, Leimert Park poet El Rivera recently secured housing. Now she faces a new challenge: affording her rent. Los Angeles streetwear brand Thread Haus Co. is stepping in to help.

Thread Haus will host a holiday pop-up at Sole Folks, a Black-owned fashion and retail co-op in Leimert Park, the weekend of November 16. Proceeds from the event will go directly to a fund that helps Rivera maintain her housing and cover essentials.

"El is an incredible poet with a powerful voice," said Manny Jackson, founder of Thread Haus. "As a community, we should rally behind her."

At the pop-up, Rivera will join Thread Haus family as a representative for the StreetSleeper Initiative, a project that turns fashion into functional shelter. The StreetSleeper is a versatile jacket that can convert into a backpack or a sleeping bag.

Community members are invited to bring gently used garments to the event. Thread Haus team will upcycle these items into signature pieces such as crew caps, cloaks, jackets, and bags. The initiative promotes sustainability, creativity, and community engagement.
