SANTA MONICA—The Los Angeles Homeless Authority Winter Shelter Program has opened several temporary emergency shelters to provide homeless residents a warm place to sleep, food, access to supportive services, and housing assistance throughout the month of December until March 31, 2020. This season’s Winter Shelter Program will offer 1,232 beds at 16 locations throughout Los Angeles County.
The County of Los Angeles and the City of Los Angeles have provided the Los Angeles Homeless Authority with the funding necessary to administer the Winter Shelter Program. The Los Angeles Homeless Authority contracts with several non-profit service providers to operate emergency shelters at multiple locations throughout Los Angeles County.
Winter shelters are available on a first-come, first-served basis to single adults 18 and older. Each shelter site permits only one bag to accompany a resident staying at the shelter.
Anyone who needs emergency shelter in Santa Monica, the closest winter shelter is at the West Los Angeles Armory (1300 Federal Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025) and is open from December 1, 2019 until March 31, 2020.
Free transportation to the West Los Angeles Armory shelter is available from the Venice Skate Park (1800 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, CA 90291) at 5 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Times may vary depending on traffic. Families with minor children in need of shelter should call 211.
During the Winter Shelter season, each shelter will open at 5:00 p.m. and close at 7:00 a.m. Winter Shelters can operate 24 hours-a-day during certain inclement weather conditions, including when:
- The 7-day weather forecast predicts two consecutive days when the high temperature will be below 50 degrees, or the nightly lows are below 40 degrees.
- The 7-day weather forecast predicts 50 percent or greater chance of rain for one or more days where rainfall will be over half an inch.
- The National Weather Service forecast predicts three days of low temperatures of 32 degrees or less.
- The National Weather Service forecasts at least one inch of rain within 24 hours.
- The National Weather Service forecasts three consecutive days of at least a quarter-inch of rain accompanied by high temperatures at 50 degrees or below.
- Shelter providers determine that there is a need to extend their hours based on local weather conditions.
In addition to the winter shelter beds, LAHSA will be activating an additional 100 emergency beds in its current interim housing program throughout the county for individuals experiencing homelessness on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
