The Midnight Stroll and After Hours Cafe was launched by the Asian Pacific AIDS Intervention Team in January 2017 in collaboration with the Los Angeles Transgender Advisory Council and The Wall Las Memorias Project, along with support from Councilman Mitch O’Farrell, the Los Angeles Police Department and several community partners.

The initiative seeks to create a piloted after-hours drop in center to meet the health and safety needs of unsheltered members of the transgender community. Under the program, volunteer outreach workers walk along Santa Monica Boulevard, from Vermont Avenue to La Brea Avenue, providing water, food, and clothing vouchers, while also promoting HIV testing and other services.
