The Three Wellness Housing Homes In Los Angeles
Wellness Housing runs three homes in South Los Angeles. One is at 1445 East 54th Street in the 90011 ZIP code, one is at 263 West 42nd Street in 90037 and one is at 246 East 69th Street in 90003. All three work the same way. The choice is a bunk bed or a single bed in a shared room, utilities included, with no credit check and no security deposit. What changes between them is the neighborhood, the transit and how close the everyday things are. This page puts the three side by side so you can pick one, then call and walk through it.
Shared Homes in Los Angeles
The three Wellness Housing homes sit within a few miles of each other in South Los Angeles, all inside Los Angeles City Council District 9 and all in the LAPD Newton Division. The LA Times Mapping L.A. neighborhoods for them are Central-Alameda, Historic South-Central and Florence. Each one is a real house on a residential street, not a facility and not a campus.
What you rent is identical at all three. One bed in a shared bedroom, furnished before you arrive, with power water and gas already on and already in the rent. The choice is a bunk bed or a single bed in a shared room. There is no credit check, no security deposit and no lease to sign, and there is a $50 registration fee. Every home has a shared kitchen with storage for cold and dry goods, an on site laundry room with a washer and a dryer, one gig WiFi and a 55 inch 4K television in the common area. Every home has a live in manager and a cleaner on site daily, and the common areas and building perimeters are camera monitored.
What changes is the map around the front door. East 54th Street is the best connected of the three, with Metro bus lines 55 and 611 on Compton Avenue about a tenth of a mile away and the Metro A Line at Slauson Station about half a mile away. West 42nd Street sits about two tenths of a mile from the Harbor Freeway, with BMO Stadium and the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum each about half a mile away and the University of Southern California campus about a mile away. East 69th Street is in Florence, about a tenth of a mile from the Metro bus stop on San Pedro Street and about three tenths of a mile from the St. John's Community Health Avalon Health and Access Center.
The way in is the same for all three. Call 562 716 4568, say what you are looking for, and come and walk through the house before you agree to anything. There is no application to complete. A phone call and a tour are how it works.

What Changes Between The Los Angeles Homes
Rent, rules and what is in the house are identical. Pick on the map instead. Where you work, where your family is, which DPSS office you use and which line gets you there.
- Central-Alameda for the closest rail and the shortest walk to a market
- Historic South-Central for the freeway, the Coliseum and the USC side of town
- Florence for the quietest street of the three and a health center three tenths of a mile away
- One phone number covers all three, so you do not have to guess
