Looking For Rooms For Rent In Los Angeles?
Here is the honest version before you call. Wellness Housing does not rent private rooms. What you rent is one furnished bed in a shared bedroom, in a clean house in South Los Angeles with a live in manager. Every bedroom is shared and each bed is rented to one adult. Utilities are included, there is no credit check and there is no security deposit. If that works for you, call 562-716-4568 to check openings and tour a house this week.
What Wellness Housing Rents Instead Of A Room
Most rooms for rent in Los Angeles come with the same hurdles. A credit check, a security deposit, first and last month up front, a share of the utility bills, and an empty room you have to furnish. For a lot of people that adds up to weeks of saving before they can move anywhere.
Wellness Housing takes a different approach. Instead of a private room, you rent one bed in a shared bedroom, furnished before you arrive, in one of three houses in South Los Angeles. The rent is monthly and it covers power, water, gas and one gig WiFi. There is no credit check, no security deposit and no lease to sign. You pay the first month and you move in.
The trade is privacy. You share the bedroom, the bathrooms and the kitchen with other adults, so this suits someone who wants a clean, quiet place to live now more than a room to themselves. Every house has a live in manager and a professional cleaner on site daily, and the house rules are short and applied the same way every time, which is what keeps the houses calm.
General Relief through Los Angeles County DPSS, the DPSS Pilot Program and the START Program are accepted, along with residents paying their own rent. The rate for a bunk bed and for a single bed is published on the pricing page.

Questions About Renting A Bed In Los Angeles
How much is it to rent a room in Los Angeles?
Private rooms in Los Angeles vary a lot by neighborhood and usually come with a credit check and a deposit. Wellness Housing rents a bunk bed or a single bed in a shared room instead, utilities included. The monthly rate for each is published on the pricing page.
Can I rent a private room at Wellness Housing?
No. Every bedroom at every Wellness Housing house is shared, and what you rent is one bed in it. If you need a room to yourself, a shared house is not the right fit, and it is better to know that before you call.

No credit check and no security deposit. You pay the first month when you move in and there is no lease to sign.
What comes with the bed?
A mattress and a chest of drawers of your own. Residents bring their own sheets, blankets and pillows. Power, water, gas and WiFi are included in the rent, along with a shared kitchen and an on site laundry room.
Can General Relief pay for a bed?
Wellness Housing accepts General Relief through Los Angeles County DPSS, the DPSS Pilot Program and the START Program. When General Relief pays for a bed it pays for it in full. Whether a program will pay for you is a question for that program, and DPSS is the place to ask.
Is there a list of requirements to live here?
Wellness Housing publishes no list. East 54th Street and West 42nd Street are the men's houses and East 69th Street is the women's house. Beyond that it is a conversation rather than a checklist. Call 562-716-4568, say what you are looking for, and someone will talk it through with you.
