We are a partnership of 25+ agencies that believe, together, we can integrate services, reduce suffering and improve the health of homeless people in and around the community of Central City East. It is estimated that 8,000 to 10,000 homeless people reside in this 52-block area known as Skid Row. Located less than a mile east of the heart of downtown Los Angeles, the homeless assemble here to access emergency shelters, transitional and permanent housing, social and medical services, and food provided by a cluster of agencies that serve the largest homeless community in the United States.
