Description

Inside Safe is Los Angeles' citywide proactive housing-led strategy to bring people inside from tents and encampments for good, and to prevent encampments from returning.

Working collaboratively with the City of Los Angeles' Mayor's Office, the Inside Safe Initiative proactively engages with people living in tents and encampments based on which locations are most chronic and where people are most in crisis.

It is a housing-based initiative where people are offered immediate quality housing and a commitment of services and permanent housing so they can stay inside safe for good.
