“The Alcott Center for Mental Health Services ("Alcott") is a community-based nonprofit organization that has provided mental health and supportive housing services to thousands of individuals facing mental health and related challenges since 1979. With program sites in West, East, and South Los Angeles, and 45 years of business experience, the agency provides a comprehensive range of services including: (a) outpatient mental health treatment to adults, 18+; (b) intensive case management services to individuals experiencing homelessness or individuals who have been diverted from incarceration; (c) Interim housing with 24/7 supervision & care to adult men and women diverted from incarceration who are also experiencing serious mental illness and housing instability; and (d) Unarmed crisis response which diverts nonviolent 911 calls to teams of trained mental health professionals to serve community members experiencing public mental health crises, homelessness, and more. In addition to clinical services, Alcott supports whole-person care by providing non-clinical experiences that develop individual strengths through well-being programs including art therapy groups, advocacy opportunities, self-help groups and social events. Alcott founded and serves as the lead entity for the Westside Health Neighborhood, retaining its longstanding roots in the Westside community. Expected outcomes for our clients and residents include an understanding of mental health, relapse factors, developing meaningful relationships, increased independence, setting and meeting personal goals, successful linkage to all health care, securing permanent housing, housing retention, and community education. Alcott is committed to reducing the impact and stigma of mental health challenges and homelessness. In 2024, Alcott served over 2,180 unique individuals across all programs, all who face mental health challenges, many with co-existing substance use disorders, many who are homeless at the time of program entry, and 98% who are living under the poverty line.
