Over 30 years ago, HBT A.K.A LABT evolved through the neighborhood watch programs in the Hollywood community to clean up our streets and remove gang driven graffiti.

As of the following years from 2017 through 2021, HBT has averaged a total of 35,000 to 45,000 location (site visits), sites include private businesses, homes, and Los Angeles City property. At each site there is supervisor(s) who will abate the graffiti(s) using the resources such as paint, pressure washing, and Chemical solvent. 

The HBT/LABT program has actively engaged with the partnership of five LAPD divisions within our boundaries for graffiti abatement by assisting mass amounts of graffiti removal with the supervision of law enforcement for everyone’s safety. The organization has had a 30-year span of experience activating community service workers to remove graffiti, including the engagement with youth through recruitment, training, and employment to provide income/experience. The organization has removed community-based graffiti within City Council Districts 4 and 13 and will continue to pursue the goal of beautifying the Los Angeles Community.
