Since 2000, Central City Neighborhood Partners (CCNP) has been a cornerstone in the community, providing access to free services through a collaborative model and enhancing the quality of life for underserved households throughout the City and County of Los Angeles with a focus on the Westlake/Pico-Union communities. Our foundation is based on Community, Collaboration, and Systemic Change. CCNP focuses on ensuring Equal Access to Essential Need Services, primarily regarding housing, food, health, transportation, and education, Building Financial Security through professional and career development, financial education, free tax preparation, and income supports, and Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders through academic support, youth leadership, civic engagement, and youth workforce development.

The Downtown Women’s Center (DWC) ends homelessness through safe housing and supportive services centered on wellness, employment, and advocacy. For nearly 50 years, DWC has led Los Angeles in providing women- and survivor-centered housing and care that has ended homelessness for thousands of people. DWC’s proven model helps people move from crisis to long-term stability while strengthening communities and improving systems. For more information, visit: downtownwomenscenter.org.
