Bob Hope Patriotic HallBob Hope Patriotic Hall, a 10-story building in downtown Los Angeles and home to the County of Los Angeles Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and various veteran service partners, has now closed to the public.

Bob Hope Patriotic Hall is being repurposed into an emergency shelter to provide temporary, safe housing for Veterans. The facility will offer gender-specific accommodations and a range of supportive services.

Until further notice. In line with the department mission to support veterans, service members and their families through dedicated resources and services, Military and Veterans Affairs is collaborating with the American Red Cross, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and other local agencies to ensure the safety and well-being of those who have served the country. This partnership reflects the department’s commitment to fostering a strong, supportive community during times of crisis.

Please take note of the following:

Regular Services have transitioned to Veteran Peer Access Network Rally Points: Military and Veterans Affairs still provides the same level of support to the veterans and families in the community, but for the immediate future, that support will be provided at VPAN rally points.

For Veterans seeking assistance and support, Bob Hope Patriotic Hall will remain closed to the public. Veterans in need of support can find assistance at the following locations:
