San Gabriel Valley Consortium on Homelessness

09/18/2026

Attending an important gathering of service providers and leaders to meet with HSH (homeless services & housing) leadership to get updates and budget projections for the upcoming year, especially with federal cuts and local organizational shifts in LA County. Thanks to Jerry Jones and the Greater LA Coalition on Homelessness for facilitating the meeting. Regardless of headlines, much has been accomplished-but still so much more to do, and housing (interim & permanent/affordable) to be developed so that no one experiences the trauma of life on the streets.

Thank you for another great summit!

Earlier today we met at Duarte City of Hope for our 2026 Fall Summit! Joined by experts in healthcare and homelessness solutions, we discussed a future where health and housing sectors collaborate to bridge the gaps in care for people experiencing homelessness. With nearly 100 attendees, this was a great morning filled with community, education, and inspirational insights. Thank you all so much for coming and showing your support!

A huge thank you to our wonderful speakers for their unique and essential perspectives they brought to this conversation: Brett Feldman of University of Southern California Street Medicine , Lisa H. Wong of Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, Larry Bell of Horizon Recuperative Care, and Celia Brugman of kaiser permanente west LA.

We're thrilled to announce SGVC's Fall Summit, "Whole Health, Whole Systems," to take place on September 9th, 2026! This summit will explore the multifaceted relationship between health and housing, and how cross-sectoral collaboration can improve the lives and outcomes of individuals experiencing homelessness.

Too often, people experiencing homelessness fall through the cracks of fragmented health and social service systems, where limited coordination leads to gaps in care and missed opportunities for stability. However, by facilitating collaborative cross-sector systems with accessible holistic services, together we can better bridge the gap between health and housing solutions and implement coordinated, whole-person solutions that uphold the dignity every individual deserves in the SGV.

We will be joined by the following experts in the medical and community health fields:

Keynote Speakers:

•Dr. Lisa Wong, Director, LA County Department of Mental Health
•Brett J. Feldman, MSPAS, PA-C, Director, USC Street Medicine

Panelists:

•Larry Bell, Regional Director of Provider Relations, Horizon Recuperative Care
•Celia Brugman, Community Health Manager, Kaiser Permanente West LA Medical Center

Join us September 9th at Duarte City of Hope to learn more about how health and social service systems can best serve our communities. Visit our Eventbrite page below to purchase tickets. We hope to see you there!
