Monday, August 01, 2016Lowery was born Mollie Ellen Raddatz on Aug. 2, 1945, in Van Nuys.Growing up, she spent summers at Bass Lake Summer Camp outside of Yosemite, and said the experience fostered a lifelong love of hiking and the outdoors.Tall and rail-thin, she enrolled at Bishop Alemany High School because of its strong basketball team, said Celina Alvarez, a friend and the current executive director of Housing Works. She went on to study at the University of Portland and received a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling from USC. Lowery attended a convent in Philadelphia for a year but decided that the nun’s life wasn’t for her. She began learning about working with people living on the streets at the nonprofit Ocean Park Community Center in Santa Monica and became the nonprofit’s director. Lowery had watched the emptying of California’s mental hospitals in the 1970s. The migration to skid row that followed is what motivated Lowery to move on from Ocean Park Community Center in 1984, said Alvarez, who had been a protegee of Lowery. “She realized that there was a whole population of human beings that were being pushed into the far margins of skid row,” Alvarez said, “and so she ventured into those margins alongside those folks.“As harsh as the streets could be, this woman could walk down the streets of skid row, and everybody would just come out from every tent and every corner and … tell her they loved her.”Lowery and philanthropist Frank Rice founded Lamp in 1985. The organization broke new ground by offering people living on the streets services without pre-conditions, unlike other nonprofit organizations and government agencies, said colleagues who knew her at the time.“Lamp was really user friendly and really street sensitive,” said Alice Callaghan, director of Las Familias del Pueblo, a community center on skid row. Where other organizations might require lots of paperwork, sobriety or certain forms of identification, “Lamp helped people where they were,” Callaghan...
