The L.A. Grand Hotel on Figueroa Street has been a cornerstone of the city’s effort to move homeless people out of tents in Echo Park, Little Tokyo and other areas.
A 13-story hotel that has served as a cornerstone of Los Angeles’ fight against homelessness, a facility that had been set to cease operations in less than three weeks, will be kept open for an additional year, city officials said Friday.
Mayor Karen Bass’ Inside Safe initiative targeted an encampment that served as home to an estimated 98 people. By Monday, 82 had moved indoors. She urged them to contact St. Joseph, which provided homeless outreach and other services during the Venice operation, when they see new tents in the area, to ensure those new arrivals also receive offers of housing and services.Those who attended the reception at the Rose Venice, a restaurant in the area where the encampment operation took place, cheered the effort.
By Friday morning, the initiative had moved 96 people in Venice into motel rooms or other forms of shelter. At that point, about half a dozen tents remained on nearby sidewalks.
