Historical Data	The Little Sisters of the Poor is a Roman Catholic religious order for women founded in the 19th century by Jeanne Jugan, who felt the need to care for the many impoverished elderly who where found to be living in the streets of French towns and cities. This Home's history began in 1905 when Edward J. LeBreton of San Francisco gave $300,000 to build the brick structure, which was consecrated in 1908. Located on nearly eight acres, the Home served the community until 1979, when the facility was closed. Soon thereafter, a new home for the aged, the Jeanne Jugan Residence, opened in San Pedro and continues to serve elderly residents.
