The Hollywood Homeless Youth Partnership is a strategic alliance of youth-serving agencies working together to prevent and end homelessness among youth and young adults in Hollywood.
The member agencies of the Hollywood Homeless Youth Partnership (HHYP) work together to meet the needs of youth by providing a full continuum of care, including (but not limited to) outreach, drop-in, emergency shelter, transitional living, supportive apartments, mental health, physical health, substance abuse treatment, life skills, positive safe connections, education, job training, employment, and referrals to other services.

We ensure that HHYP staff and other professionals are equipped with the skills necessary to deliver high-quality services to young people experiencing homelessness.
We coordinate our advocacy efforts to ensure that local, regional, state, and federal policy and regulations address the needs of homeless youth populations and benefit all youth.
We engage in research and evaluation designed to increase our understanding of unhoused young people and adopt best practices across HHYP agencies.
We monitor the landscape for emerging trends and challenges, identify best practices in service delivery to ensure unhoused young people have access to a high quality system of care
The HHYP shares our learnings around youth experiencing homelessness through the publication of policy briefs, infographics, and practice briefs to provide an opportunity for service providers, funders, and policymakers to design more responsive services necessary to end youth homelessness in our community.
The FY 21/22 HHYP Infographic describes the young people served across HHYP agencies and the impact of COVID-19 on the service continuum.
The FY 20/21 HHYP Equity Data Brief compares the profiles of Black-identified youth served by HHYP agencies with their non-Black peers.
HHYP conducted a pilot in 2018 to find out more about the number of young people who were accessing services from agencies yet were being excluded from the youth count.
HHYP developed a protocol designed to provide a foundational philosophy and action steps around our collective response to tragedy and to offer best practices to agencies.
