Six Four Nine Lofts via Skid Row Housing Trust
LOS ANGELES - Mayor Eric Garcetti and other Los Angeles-area elected officials joined the Skid Row Housing Trust to announce the grand opening of a permanent supportive housing building and medical clinic in the Skid Row area of downtown Los Angeles.
The project, called 649 Lofts, located at 649 Wall St., has 54 studio units between 385 and 400 square feet. It began admitting residents in March and is the second of three Skid Row Housing Trust projects expected to open in 2021.
The building includes a three-story community health clinic, called the Joshua House Health Center, which is operated by the L.A. Christian Health Centers. The clinic is scheduled to open later this year and will provide medical, dental, optometry, mental health and social services to an anticipated 7,000 people in the Skid Row community each year.

HOMELESSNESS POLITICS On March 24, hundreds of police officers swept Los Angeles’ Echo Park Lake of its unhoused encampments after City Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell directed the park’s closure.
The move crushed a community one leader compared to the utopian socialist Llano Del Rio settlement; police arrested 182 protesters over two nights of demonstrations and arrested or detained at least 20 journalists, according to the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker.
A year ago, the Centers for Disease Control warned that encampment sweeps could potentially increase spread of the coronavirus by dispersing people throughout the community and disrupting connections with service providers. Los Angeles accordingly cut back on such actions, outraging Angelenos who were demanding sweeps in their own neighborhoods.
