City Of West Hollywood Resources
The City of West Hollywood believes that community members should not have to choose between rent, food, and medications. The West Hollywood Poverty Reduction Initiative is designed to address some of these issues by exploring ways to help community members reduce expenses and increase income, especially for those experiencing financial instability. One long-standing City effort includes partnering with several local non-profit agencies to provide home-delivered or congregate meals and distribute groceries/fresh produce – at no cost – to West Hollywood residents. To learn more about West Hollywood food resources, please see below. If you need assistance with services, please call the City’s Human Services Division at (323) 848-6510.
