LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Los Angeles Councilman Mike Bonin said today that 160 people who were living along the Venice boardwalk have been brought inside and accepted the city s offer of a pathway to permanent housing.
Bonin s Encampment to Home program began on June 28. The program promises all residents who accept shelter a pathway to permanent housing in an effort to clear the Venice boardwalk, where a large encampment developed during the pandemic.
Outreach teams with St. Joseph s Center have offered services and housing to encampment residents section-by-section. As of last Friday, residents were offered housing and were required to leave the area from Windward Avenue to Park Avenue and from Navy Street to Sunset Avenue. This week, teams are offering housing to residents between Sunset and Park avenues, and those who do not accept will be required to leave the area by Friday.

Economic recovery can t be at the expense of the poorest 26 July, 2021 00:59
As countries in the West take steps to kick-start their economies following the devastation of the coronavirus pandemic, it is going to be critical that we do not lose sight of the global nature of this crisis.
Tough decisions will inevitably be made by national governments as they respond to the economic realities of Covid-19 – a precipitous fall of 3.3 per cent in global GDP last year included – but these cannot be made at the expense of the world’s poorest.
