At the October 27, 2025 City Council meeting, an update on the Mobile Crisis Unit was presented by Dr. Dan Richardson, Culver City’s Human Services and Crisis Intervention Division Manager and leader of the Mobile Crisis Team. In his presentation, Richardson said MCT is working to expand its hours of operation to seven days a week, from 9 AM to 9 PM in 2026 by adding personnel.
For the last 15 months, the MCT has responded to 1,364 crisis line/homeless outreach requests and engaged 840 people. The Culver City Police Department have requested assistance 56 times, and the Culver City Fire Department have requested assistance 24 times.
As a part of the larger effort to help people off the streets, the numbers for homeless assistance have stayed strong. As of October 2025, Project Homekey’s permanent supportive housing side is serving 36 people, while the interim portion of PHK serves 33 people. Currently the Motel Master Lease Program is helping a total of 39 people. The Wellness Village Program is providing shelter for 16 people. That’s 124 people being helped.
