Online Tool to Help LA's Homeless
There’s a brand new online tool in LA to help the homeless: LA-HOP, the first of its kind. Anybody with a cell phone or computer can use it. Here’s how it works: If you see someone on the street who needs help, go to LA-HOP.com. type in the location and describe the situation. An outreach team will then look into getting them the services they need. LA-HOP is not for medical or mental emergencies nor for reporting crime, but it does allow you to help someone in need. Learn more, go to https://www.lahsa.org/portal/apps/la-hop/.
