Who We Are
The People Concern empowers the most vulnerable among us to rebuild their lives. As one of Los Angeles County’s largest social services agencies, we provide a fully integrated system of care – including mental and medical health care, substance abuse services, and housing – tailored to the unique needs of homeless individuals, survivors of domestic violence, challenged youth, and others who have nowhere else to turn.
Informed by more than 50 years of work in the community, The People Concern’s innovative model has been proven throughout Los Angeles County and has been recognized across the country. We were formed in 2016 in a union of two trusted social service organizations based in Los Angeles County, OPCC and Lamp Community. The People Concern continues to build on the longstanding reputations of our two founding organizations for delivering services with deep compassion and profound respect.
