"The City of West Hollywood is committed to providing comprehensive assistance to homeless members of the community. Each winter, the City coordinates and prepares additional resources for wet-weather conditions.

The City of West Hollywood works closely with PATH (People Assisting The Homeless), the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), and the Los Angeles LGBT Center to meet demand during winter conditions. There are several resources for homeless individuals:

  • Hotel/motel vouchers, including transportation and food
  • LA LGBT Center shelter for at-risk youth
  • Alcohol and drug residential programs and transitional (sober) living facilities.
For homeless individuals who decline to access indoor accommodations, outreach teams provide other assistance such as food and hygiene kits, as well as blankets, socks, and other emergency supplies.

If you become aware of someone who needs shelter or services, please contact the City of West Hollywood’s Social Services Division at (323) 848-6510.
