DIR-2026-EC45F1Staff direction detail
Explore partnerships with private businesses for additional health vending machines
Using city funds, this proposal would cost residents approximately $112,900 to implement a one-year Community Health Hub Pilot Program. This initiative aims to enhance public health access by installing a vending machine that provides free health and harm-reduction supplies, available 24/7. The program is designed to improve community wellness and reduce harm by offering anonymous access to essential supplies.
This program directly affects West Hollywood residents by providing free and anonymous access to health and harm-reduction supplies through a vending machine. Residents who need these supplies can access them at any time, which may improve public health outcomes and reduce harm in the community. This could be particularly beneficial for individuals who require discreet access to health resources.
