Jordan, a member of the LGBT community, stated the close relationship between the gay and lesbian community. Their revenues largely come from private donations, a budget of roughly 50 million. There are also residents of West Hollywood who attend city meetings and volunteer in neighborhood watch, etc. However, West Hollywood is also comprised of a former Soviet population. Within this sub-culture of West Hollywood we also observed mutual aid amongst neighbors. During our community immersion, we observed the senior population engaging in outdoor social activities such as playing board games, conversing with others, etc.
