Emergency Shelter in Downtown Los Angeles — Open 24/7

Free, safe shelter with meals, rest, and connections to housing & recovery.

What We Provide

Dignity-first care the moment you arrive.

The Midnight Mission’s Los Angeles Shelter offers Safe Sleep accommodations to some of our most vulnerable and difficult-to-reach guests who often avoid shelter beds and sometimes require additional basic needs. Our goal is to provide a flexible, tolerant, and accessible option for overnight stays for those whose traditional shelters are not ideal arrangements. In our downtown Los Angeles shelter, our guests will have access to the following:

  • A safe, quiet, and controlled environment
  • Clean, accessible restrooms
  • Onsite security
  • Separate spaces for women & families
