Our Vision

The Vision of United Homeless Healthcare Partners is to solve the homeless healthcare crisis in Los Angeles County by:

  • Supporting the providers of healthcare services throughout the region in building stronger networks, leveraging resources, and ensuring that healthcare services are accessible to the homeless residents of Los Angeles County.
  • Advocating for policies that support both the homeless healthcare providers’ ability to provide services and the homeless individuals’ ability to receive these services. 
  • Serving as a strong and unified voice within Los Angeles County to expand the dollars solicited and spent for homeless healthcare in this region.

Our Beginnings

Formed as the result of a strategic planning project under the auspices of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, UHHP became a network in early 2006 and is now a project of Community Partners.  Since then, the organization has completed the strategic plan, presented a conference on systems and service delivery integration for more than 200 participants, prepared an analysis of policy issues concerning homeless healthcare, and has achieved a membership of more than one hundred organizations.
