The Journey to Home

Most of our facilities are owned and operated exclusively by HHH. We also manage operations for some sites which are owned by the State or the County. Our staff are the ones working in the facility and helping clients find their permanent home.

Holliday’s’ Helping Hands Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit raising seeking to improve the lives of individuals and families struggling to create safer, healthier paths toward a brighter future with more opportunities.

There is NO pre-qualifying criteria. Holliday’s Helping Hands follows the “Harm Reduction” approach — a non-coercive, non-judgmental approach to reducing the harms of drug and alcohol use.

Rather than expecting “cold turkey” abstinence — which may cause severe withdrawals — incremental changes are supported. This respectful and compassionate approach works to de-stigmatize drug users.

We are alerted by the department when there is an individual or family in need of housing. There is no cost to the individual.

Once you qualify with the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, you are eligible. There is no other criteria needed.

Holliday’s Helping Hands follows the “Housing First” approach for people experiencing homelessness. We bring immediate access to housing with no housing readiness conditions.

Other benefits to a Housing First approach are:

• Consumer choice and self-determination
• Recovery orientation
• Individualized and person-driven supports
• Social and community integration

Our clients sleep on beds with two pillows each. At most there is one other person in the same room. We do not use cots. Men and women have separate quarters. Families are kept together.

Delicious meals are served three times a day by fun, creative chefs. Activities are planned throughout the day to keep clients focused on their road map to home.
