West Hollywood’s Homeless Initiative and How To Access Help for Community Members

Support and Resources Are Available for the Homeless Community

The West Hollywood Homeless Initiative is addressing homelessness through a collaborative, multi-disciplinary effort involving numerous agencies. Partnering with nonprofit service providers and Los Angeles County agencies, the initiative aims to reduce homelessness and support those experiencing it within the community.

Resources for Community Members

Concerned residents can call the Homeless Concern Line at (323) 848-6590 to request an outreach team. This is a non-emergency number. For those experiencing homelessness in West Hollywood, various resources are available, including weekday drop-in hours at the West Hollywood Library, where individuals can connect with service providers.

For more information about available services, contact the City’s Human Services Division at (323) 848-6510.

To volunteer and support people experiencing homelessness, community members can find opportunities here.

Guidance on how to assist homeless community members can be found here.

If a business is impacted by homelessness, owners can also call the Homeless Concern Line at (323) 848-6590 and leave a detailed voicemail.

The City of West Hollywood encourages residents to advocate for more housing by signing up for the United Way’s Everyone In campaign at www.everyoneinla.org. West Hollywood is an official “Everyone In” city, supporting the construction and preservation of affordable housing in the neighborhood.
