My Friend’s Place
Founded in 1988, My Friend’s Place assists and empowers young people experiencing homelessness to build self sufficient lives.

It operates a drop-in resource center in Hollywood and provides low-barrier, trauma-informed services to more than 1,000 young people ages 12-30, ensuring that they have access to the care, opportunities and resources that support their journey to stability and a permanent exit from homelessness.
GRANT PURPOSE
To provide one-time direct hardship relief that will help stabilize individuals and families during a time of crisis or need, substantially improving their self-sufficiency and quality of life.
