LA City CIRCLE program confronting Mental Health challenges

What is CIRCLE?

CIRCLE is a 24/7 proven unarmed response program that deploys a team of mental health professionals and individuals with lived experience to address non-violent LAPD calls related to unhoused individuals experiencing crisis. Through this public health approach, the City is able to improve community safety and outcomes for Angelenos experiencing mental health crises and in need of other services and support. The program also operates in Hollywood, Downtown Los Angeles, South Los Angeles, Venice, the Harbor Area and the San Fernando Valley.
