For over two decades, West Coast Coalition has delivered measurable results for Los Angeles communities. Our impact extends beyond square feet of graffiti removed—we're building safer neighborhoods, strengthening property values, and creating economic opportunity through environmental justice.
West Coast Coalition provides targeted environmental services across key Los Angeles communities, with a focus on ensuring service equity between neighborhoods.
Comprehensive coverage including Mid-Wilshire, Miracle Mile, Park La Brea, Hancock Park, Windsor Square, Fairfax District, and areas South of Mulholland Drive. Our crews maintain daily presence throughout CD 5, ensuring rapid response and ongoing beautification.
Full coverage of The Greater Westside including Mar Vista, Palms, Del Rey, Playa Vista, West Los Angeles, Westwood, Brentwood, and Pacific Palisades. WCC provides comprehensive environmental services throughout CD 11.
WCC provides services to specific corridors and locations within small portions of CD 4 and CD 10 where we partner with the City. Our coverage in these districts focuses on maintaining key transit routes and priority areas identified by community partners.
Rapid graffiti removal disrupts gang communication networks and reduces territorial marking, contributing to decreased crime rates in service areas. Studies show graffiti-free neighborhoods experience 15-20% fewer property crimes.
Clean, well-maintained neighborhoods maintain higher property values. Research indicates that visible blight including graffiti can reduce property values by 5-15%, while consistent environmental maintenance helps stabilize and increase home values.
WCC ensures underserved communities receive the same rapid-response service as affluent areas. Our 90%+ within 24-hour response time applies equally across all neighborhoods, addressing documented service disparities where low-income areas historically waited weeks for graffiti removal.
Clean commercial corridors attract customers and investment. Local business owners in our service areas report increased foot traffic and customer confidence in graffiti-free shopping districts.

WCC utilizes environmentally responsible graffiti removal methods, including low-VOC paint and water-based solutions. Our debris cleanup operations prioritize recycling and proper waste disposal, diverting materials from landfills whenever possible.
By maintaining local crews serving nearby communities, WCC minimizes transportation emissions. Our 6-crew operation covers extensive territory efficiently, reducing the environmental cost of service delivery.
Rapid removal prevents the "broken windows effect" where visible disorder leads to accelerated neighborhood decline. By maintaining clean public spaces, WCC helps preserve urban environments and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Every donation to West Coast Coalition directly funds environmental services in Los Angeles communities. Here's the tangible impact your contribution creates:
Removes graffiti from 250 square feet (approximately 2-3 tags). This cleans a typical storefront or residential garage, immediately improving neighborhood appearance and property owner peace of mind.
Removes graffiti from 500 square feet (approximately 5-7 tags). This addresses a significant graffiti incident or cleans multiple affected properties in a neighborhood, disrupting gang communication patterns.
Supports one crew for one full day of service. A single crew can service 15-25 locations in one day, removing thousands of square feet of graffiti and transforming entire neighborhoods. This funds crew wages, equipment, paint, and transportation for comprehensive community service.
Removes graffiti from an entire block or storefront corridor. This comprehensive cleanup revitalizes commercial districts, removes major gang markings, and creates visible transformation that restores community pride and attracts business investment.
Monthly donors provide the stable funding foundation that allows WCC to maintain consistent crews, respond rapidly to new graffiti, and plan long-term community improvements. A $100/month recurring donation supports continuous service that prevents graffiti accumulation and maintains neighborhood quality over time.
