During the past 18 months, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed life for everyone. The City of West Hollywood has worked determinedly to provide community members regularly updated information from public health officials, to provide access to relief and resources, and to develop innovative policies that support health and wellness while supporting businesses and residents.

One of the creative steps taken by the City has been the development of Outdoor Use Temporary Zones (OUT Zones). These temporary outdoor expansions provide outdoor commercial space in the public right-of-way for restaurants, shops, and personal care establishments to move operations outdoors in an effort to provide a safer environment with additional physical distancing.

Throughout the pandemic, the City has also worked to develop and expand vital programs to keep renters in their housing and commercial tenants in their businesses; to ensure access for community members to food and to support; and to provide grants and resources to businesses and their workforces.

The City’s Post Pandemic Action Plan will help establish a framework and steps for the City’s future, as it envisions steps to be taken to support economic and community recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
