The county of Los Angeles announced that a new $60 million state grant will fund housing projects and expand services to more than half of the unhoused population in Skid Row over the next three years.
The state's Encampment Resolution Fund grants from the California Interagency Council on Homelessness will supplement and jumpstart elements of the county's $280 million Skid Row Action Plan -- an initiative for transitioning Skid Row in to a "safe and healthy community."
"This is the first step towards implementing the Skid Row Action Plan," said County Supervisor Hilda Solis, who represents the district that encompasses Skid Row. "As the heart of the overdose crisis, Skid Row residents deserve the dignity of housing, where they can receive the care they need."Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass continued work to bring homeless Angelenos indoors through her Inside Safe program Wednesday, this time in Chatsworth.
Under the plan, the county and its partners will provide hundreds of new interim housing beds at multiple hotels and motels in and near Skid Row, as well as other locations. About 350 of those interim housing beds will include enriched services for people with the "most complex and behavioral health needs."
"Yet again, we are seeing the real, tangible results of locking arms at every level of government," Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement. "The county has been there with us every step of the way as we implement Inside Safe and take steps to continue to bring Angelenos inside in other ways."
