HOP- Westside Safe Haven (WSH), is a 13-unit low-barrier housing program that provides on-site clinical supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness with severe mental illness, who are often reluctant to access services and/or housing. Unhoused community members with severe mental health challenges have difficulty navigating and maintaining conventional congregate shelter stays and/or housing opportunities due to their mental health symptoms, which often results in chronic unsheltered homelessness thereby increasing risk of serious injury and/or death for this vulnerable population. By employing a housing first, trauma-informed and client-centered approach, Westside Safe Haven endeavors to meet immediate needs while assisting individuals in working towards their goals.
