Armed with Good Information and Compassion, West Hollywood Makes the Most of Its Community to Battle Homelessness
The City of West Hollywood is known for being a unique place in America. Founded in 1984 out of land that was then unincorporated Los Angeles County, West Hollywood was literally built to be a city known for its compassion.

While many people associate that compassion as support for people shunned by family and communities because of their sexual identity, it extends to people experiencing homelessness.
