Skid Row Housing Trust is a California nonprofit organization that develops and operates permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness and related challenges, including extreme poverty, health issues, disabilities, mental illness, and addiction. Its approach combines stable housing with wrap-around case management and services typically housed within the same buildings, aiming to help residents achieve stability and wellness while reducing reliance on emergency services. The organization emphasizes Housing First as a foundational principle and highlights the long-term cost and quality-of-life benefits of providing permanent housing to individuals with complex needs. Based in Los Angeles, Skid Row Housing Trust operates multiple buildings in the city, serving thousands of residents through its housing portfolio and care programs.

With a focus on design-inclusive, resident-centered architecture, the Trust positions itself as a national leader in permanent supportive housing, partnering with architectural firms to create environments that support healing and positive community interactions. Its work reflects a commitment to creating inclusive neighborhoods where residents have a stable place to call home, supported by services that address health, wellness, and social integration. Recent activity in the public sphere includes collaborations and hires related to expanding its on-site psychosocial support and services for residents, reinforcing its role as a housing and social-services provider in the Los Angeles region.
