An unusual bid by Los Angeles City Councilman John Lee to pull back funding from a Chatsworth homeless housing project met headwinds Thursday, as a council committee voted unanimously against rescinding the money.
“We can’t keep punting the obligation that we have to start actually making a dent in this crisis,” said Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, a member of the Homelessness and Poverty Committee.
The decision now heads to the full council, according to a spokeswoman for the committee leader. The council voted more than a year ago to fund the Topanga Canyon Boulevard project using money from Proposition HHH, a $1.2-billion bond program approved by voters. As it stands, more than $7 million in HHH funds is slated to be allocated for the project, according to the housing department.

Los Angeles City Councilman John Lee is again battling plans for a homeless housing project along Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Chatsworth, more than a year after the council voted to approve funding for the development.
Lee recently put forward a proposal to yank money being allocated for the Chatsworth project under Proposition HHH, a $1.2-billion bond measure approved by voters. The rescinded funds should instead be earmarked for “an innovative project proposal” in his district that could be built more quickly and at a lower cost, Lee stated.
As it stands, more than $7 million is slated to be allocated from the HHH program for the Topanga Canyon Boulevard development, according to the housing department. The city attorney’s office declined to comment on whether there would be any legal barrier to rescinding the HHH funds for the project.

Unfortunately, the money we always get and rely on is supposed to go to supporting families, not for repairing floorboards in the basement. So hopefully, people will understand that some of our resources in 2021 won t be going to what we hoped they would be going for, said Paul.The basement has an indoor playground, game room, yoga room, and meeting rooms.It s also used to store donated art that is rotated throughout the building.So far, the estimate for clean-up is around $75,000 to $100,000.Communit
