Anticipated Opening: Summer 2027

We're Ending Street Homelessness
in Hollywood

In partnership with the City of Los Angeles and Aviva Family & Children’s Services, DignityMoves is developing a perinatal substance use disorder residential treatment facility in Hollywood that will provide a lifeline for pregnant and postpartum women experiencing street homelessness. The project will include 27 beds, a medical room, exercise room, and laundry room, offering safety and dignity for mothers and their newborns. Once open, the program will serve 40 to 50 families each year, pairing stable housing with wraparound care including maternal health, substance use treatment, and case management. The project is funded through a mix of philanthropy and $9.3M from California’s Proposition 1 behavioral health dollars (BCHIP), designed to expand services for those with mental illness and substance use disorders. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2026, with the opening planned for 2027.

A Closer Look at the Community Coming to Hollywood

Site

The perinatal substance use disorder residential treatment facility will include 27 beds designed to offer safety, comfort, and privacy for pregnant and postpartum women and their newborns. The community will also feature a medical room, exercise room, laundry room, communal dining area, family lounge, outdoor courtyard, and offices for on-site staff and case managers, all created with a trauma-informed design that supports healing and connection. The environment will be warm and nurturing, intentionally designed to help families feel secure, supported, and respected.

Located in the heart of Hollywood, the site sits on underutilized vacant city-owned land leased to Aviva Family & Children’s Services for 30 years through a partnership with Los Angeles City Council District 4.

Services

Aviva Family & Children’s Services will provide compassionate, on-site support tailored to pregnant and postpartum women and their newborns. Each family will receive personalized case management, access to maternal health care and behavioral health treatment, and connections to employment, education, and long-term housing resources.

The program follows a trauma-informed, family-centered model that keeps mothers and infants together while addressing the root causes of homelessness. With wraparound care that integrates mental health, substance use treatment, and parenting support, Aviva helps each resident take meaningful steps toward stability, healing, and independence.

Public-Private Partnership

The new perinatal substance use disorder residential treatment facility is made possible through a public-private partnership between Aviva Family & Children’s Services, DignityMoves, and the City of Los Angeles. The project is funded through a mix of philanthropy and $9.3M from California’s Proposition 1 behavioral health dollars (BCHIP), designed to expand services for those with mental illness and substance use disorders. Built on vacant, city-owned land leased to Aviva Family & Children’s Services at no cost for 30 years through a partnership with Los Angeles City Council District 4, the project represents a new model of collaboration in which government, philanthropy, and nonprofit innovation come together to meet urgent community needs.

Ending unsheltered homelessness can be done.

A fast, cost-effective way to build housing at SCALE that is dignified and private so that people are willing to come, where they can then get the intensive supportive services they need.
