HOLLYWOOD 4WRD (4 Walls, a Roof and a Door) is a group formed by the Hollywood business community, local government, social service providers, the non-profit sector and the faith community committed to ending homelessness in Hollywood by 2018. They believe this is less expensive than managing homelessness and that it will create a safer neighborhood for residents, businesses, visitors and our homeless neighbors. So far, Hollywood 4WRD has permanently housed 140 people. Learn more at www.hollywood4wrd.org.
