Fifteen posts written for the people who call Wellness Housing. What a bed in a shared room costs, what happens on the first phone call, how General Relief through DPSS pays for a room, and what living in one of the South Los Angeles houses is actually like. Three of them are for case managers placing a client this week. Two are video walkthroughs of the houses themselves. None of them will ask you to fill in a form.
Fifteen posts sit on this page. Most of them started as an answer to a question somebody asked on the phone, which is why they read the way they do rather than like brochure copy. Nothing here is a listing and nothing here is a form. If a post answers your question, the next step is still a phone call, or a look at the three South Los Angeles houses the posts keep referring to.
The first group is for anybody looking for a room for themselves. It covers what a bed costs against a Los Angeles studio, what happens between the first phone call and the day you move in, how General Relief through DPSS pays for a room here, and why there is no credit check and no security deposit in the way. One of them also draws the line between sober living, transitional housing, detox and rehab, because those four get used as if they mean the same thing and they do not.
The second group is about living in a Wellness Housing home. Two video walkthroughs, one of them filmed by The Source LA in the womens house. Then three posts on what sharing a house is actually like once everybody in it has agreed to the same short list of house rules, and one on the womens house being a whole home rather than a single room set aside. Every kind of housing Wellness Housing rents sits on one page if you would rather start there.
The last group is for case managers, and for anybody who wants to know who runs these houses. It covers what you find out on a first referral call, how Wellness Housing works with DPSS on General Relief, SSI and CalWORKs placements, and why Greg and Saqib opened the first house in South Los Angeles in 2022. Who runs Wellness Housing and what it does not do says the rest of it plainly.
Six posts that answer what people ask on the phone before they ask anything else.
Every step between the first phone call and the day you move in, including the $50 registration fee.

Reading is the easy part. One call and one tour tells you whether a room suits. Someone answers Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm Pacific.
