The Holloway Interim Housing Program is the result of years of planning under the city of West Hollywood’s Five-Year Plan to Address Homelessness, adopted in 2018 with input from community members, stakeholders, and the West Hollywood City Council. A top priority of the plan was to create supportive service space within city boundaries, including interim housing.
In 2022, West Hollywood received a State of California Homekey grant, which enabled the purchase and conversion of the Holloway Motel into an interim housing and supportive services site. The West Hollywood City Council approved the property purchase using the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund and directed staff to begin rehabilitation of the site. Community listening sessions held that year further shaped the program’s design.
