My Friend's Place announced a $20 million purpose-built campus for young people experiencing homelessness
My Friend's Place announced plans to replace its Hollywood facility with a purpose-built campus consolidating services for young people experiencing homelessness. The charity reported raising more than $11.3 million toward a $20 million campaign. It expects to relocate temporarily in February 2027, start demolition and construction in April 2027 and complete the campus in December 2028 while continuing programs during the transition.
Status matters. This page records a sourced development, not a completed No Halo investigation. An allegation is not a finding. Dismissals, settlements, judgments, corrections and final outcomes remain distinct.
Donor relevance
Why this matters
The project could materially improve and consolidate physical health, mental health, education, employment and basic-needs services for more than 1,000 young people annually. The long construction period and temporary relocation also create continuity risks that donors should monitor.

Evidence limits
What remains unverified
No Halo has not established final regulatory approval, the completed construction budget, whether the remaining campaign funds will be raised, the suitability of the temporary site or whether services will continue without disruption. Future capacity and beneficiary outcomes remain projections.
