<p><strong>ABOUT HOMELESS HEALTH CARE LOS ANGELES</strong></p> <p>With three offices in and around Downtown L.A., Homeless Health Care Los Angeles (HHCLA) is <strong>a nonprofit that serves the homeless of Los Angeles.</strong> Established more than 30 years ago, HHCLA recognizes that it's not just the lack of a house that keeps people on the streets, and so provides support for its clients' physical and mental health as well as help getting into a permanent home. For individuals struggling with substance use disorder, HHCLA provides <strong>counseling and harm-reduction services such as a needle exchange.</strong></p> <p>Groups are offered in both English and Spanish. HHCLA is among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">53.3 percent</a> of California-based facilities that operate as private nonprofits.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Treatment at HHCLA is <strong>based on the harm reduction model,</strong> a nonjudgmental approach that puts the client's quality of life first and foremost. Under harm reduction, staff and clients work together, using evidence-based techniques, to reduce the negative consequences of drug use and to lower the barriers to wellbeing. </p> <p>Clients might participate in <strong>individual counseling, group therapy,</strong> and sessions aimed at helping them to moderate their drug use. These services are rounded out by healing therapies such as <strong>yoga and art therapy.</strong> And HHCLA is among the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">27.1 percent</a> of California-based facilities that offer <strong>dedicated programming for members of the LGBTQ community</strong>.</p> <p>HHCLA also provides <strong>case management services</strong> to support clients through mental health and substance use disorders, offer housing location assistance (something offered by <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">63.8 percent</a> of California-based facilities), <strong>navigating social services, and establishing healthy routines.</strong> </p> <p>HHCLA's website notes that the organization can help its clients stay on their meds without interruption, though it doesn't mention whether those medications include Suboxone, methadone, or other medications used to treat addiction.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>HHCLA employs a team of <strong>therapists, psychiatrists, and social workers.</strong> The single individual polled by Rehabs.com to date gave the center five out of five stars for its staff's level of training and experience, though they also listed as a weakness of the facility that there were "not enough well trained staff."</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The single alum polled by Rehabs.com to date, C.E., would strongly recommend HHCLA. "Excellent therapy," they wrote, giving the center five stars for its counseling options, ability to treat co-occurring disorders, and holistic offerings.</p> <p>HHCLA also has <strong>mostly stellar feedback on secondary sites,</strong> with a 4.8 out of five-star average rating based on 67 reviews on Google, and a single one-star rating on Yelp.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> The one or two negative reviews cited organizational problems, specifically with paperwork and appointment scheduling. </p> <p>But the overwhelming majority of comments described <strong>a hardworking, dedicated, and big-hearted organization with genuinely caring staff,</strong> which has helped many people through very hard periods. "I've been a client of theirs for quite awhile, excellent in helping all people, caring and thorough. If it weren't for them id be in a very bad place," Darlene wrote in a representative review on Google.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>HHCLA's services are provided free of charge to clients — making it one of the <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CA17.pdf" target="_blank">46.6 percent</a> of California-based facilities that offer some free services. </p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Homeless+Health+Care+Los+Angeles&oq=Homeless+Health+Care+Los+Angeles+&aqs=chrome..69i57j0j69i60l2j0l2.591j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x80c2c70cfcfc583b:0xaf0496e1019d4c0,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/homeless-health-care-los-angeles-los-angeles?osq=Homeless+Health+Care+Los+Angeles" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/homeless-health-care-los-angeles-los-angeles?osq=Homeless+Health+Care+Los+Angeles</a></small></p>
