Culver City’s data shows the results of Culver City’s commitment to helping people receive shelter and resources. Resolving homelessness, including opening permanent and supportive housing sites, opening a safe-sleep site [now known as Wellness Village,] providing shelter at two local motels, launching the mobile crisis response team [originally scheduled to begin in 2021,] partnering with street-based healthcare, and offering extensive outreach services weekly.
