For decades, unhoused young people have been drawn to the Hollywood area. They may have left home because of abuse or neglect, been thrown out of their homes because their parents were unable or unwilling to care for them, or ended up on the street after leaving the dependency or justice system. Most young people experiencing homelessness need the support of services and programs to help them get off the streets and find positive, safe, and stable living environments, either by reuniting them with their families or helping them find alternative living arrangements.

Together, the member agencies of the Hollywood Homeless Youth Partnership provide the full continuum of care utilizing harm reduction and trauma-informed care frameworks, while incorporating principles of positive youth development to reach young people.

One of the core values of the HHYP is to share our data, lessons learned, and our growing understanding of best practices with other agencies and collaboratives locally and nationally that are working to end youth homelessness. We believe that sharing our passion, commitment, and emerging best practices is the best way to advance the field.
