Everyone Deserves Community.

Friends of the Cecil is the intentional supportive community of the historic Hotel Cecil, now serving as permanent housing on the edge of Skid Row. Here, residents and unhoused neighbors find hospitality, community, case navigation, and hope.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, Coffee & Toast brings people together around a simple breakfast and genuine hospitality. It is a welcoming space where residents and unhoused neighbors can enjoy a meal, build relationships, learn about available resources, and begin the day in community. Learn More
