Community saves lives.
And every life matters.
Blue Hollywood Street Sanctuary is a Black-led, lived-experience powered non-profit organization focusing on removing barriers to resources and community for the most marginalized in Skid Row, Los Angeles.
In a community with various providers, we on the front lines of care, often the first touch point for traumatized individuals who hesitate to engage with traditional providers.
Our center is a judgement-free space where unhoused and preciously housed community members can access safety, a social network, and the tools they need to survive.
The Sanctuary
Our street-based community center and resource hub is a place to rest, socialize, celebrate, receive survival supplies, case management and other direct services, and on-demand, non-coercive spiritual counseling.
The Sanctuary is where strangers become neighbors, neighbors become friends, and friends become family.
Harm reduction
We are a LA-City and County-approved syringe services program that distributes safer-use supplies, as well as bottled water, daily multi-vitamins, wound care and hygiene kits through our community center and weekly outreach. We believe active harm reduction thrives through building relationships, strengthening communities and fostering a culture of collective care.
Community events
Blue Hollywood Street Sanctuary hosts weekly and monthly social events with the aim of providing a sense of community and dignity that are often missing in traditional service settings.
Through ongoing and long-term relationship building, we work to build a safe and joyful space where participants feel seen and valued, allowing for true relaxation, jubilation and camaraderie.
“To truly make impact, you have to meet people right where they are.”
— Pastor Blue, Blue Hollywood Street Sanctuary founder and executive director
