The Village Drop-In Center for Homeless Youth

The Village Drop-In Center for Homeless Youth is part of The Village Family Services, a Los Angeles County nonprofit providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed support to children, youth, and families. Its youth-homelessness work helps young people ages 14–25 stabilize, address immediate needs, and build a path forward. Learn more about The Village’s approach to ending youth homelessness.

Through its Youth Coordinated Entry System role in Service Planning Area 2, The Village serves as a central access point for young people experiencing homelessness. Support may include help identifying housing options and connections to education, employment, mental health care, and other wraparound services. The organization describes its Drop-In Center as a place where youth can find a warm meal and mental health support.

The Village’s broader programs include housing navigation, life-skills development, therapy, crisis intervention, foster care, adoption, and behavioral health services. Its approach emphasizes dignity, connection, and longer-term stability, including for LGBTQ+ youth and others who face barriers to safety and housing.
