About HHCLA

Our Mission

The mission of Homeless Health Care Los Angeles (HHCLA) is to improve the health of homeless people through direct services, education and advocacy.

Who We Are

We’re people, just like you, who cannot site by idly while our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, friends and neighbors, go without the basic things in life—like simple health care, a meal, a safe place to sleep at night. Since 1985, board members, the executive director, staff and volunteers of HHCLA have dedicated themselves to improving the health of Los Angeles’ homeless. When we see expressions of hope and relief on the faces of those whom we serve, we know that we, as professional social workers, health care advocates, trainers, sponsors, and donors, are truly making an impact on this enormous social problem. (Please see our press page for media releases.) For example:

• Our multicultural, multidisciplinary staff uses a comprehensive case management model to provide a unique and highly successful drug treatment and health services program.

• Our training and education department provides skill-building training for homeless service providers to increase their abilities to effectively assist homeless people and gain a basic understanding of and develop skills in health and safety, mental health substance abuse, case management, counseling and tuberculosis.

• Our advocacy work is focused on affecting policy that increases access to health care services, which goes hand in hand with our mission of improving the health of our community.

Eliminating homelessness in Los Angeles will not come soon, that is a near certainty. We can, however, provide the homeless population with a modest amount of health services, education, and a political voice in the meantime. And with your support, we can do more.
