Project Overview
Permanent Supportive Housing Facility 

Coming to Your Neighborhood 

Who is behind this? Councilman Eric Garcetti, L.A. Voice (Sarah Phelps) formerly known as Hollywood Interfaith Sponsoring Committee), Community Redevelopment Agency/CRA-LA (John McCoy). 

Project description: 60-unit Adult Permanent Supportive Housing for the chronically homeless with 5,000 square feet of social services serving the residents and the general public.  

Who will be served: Those with any one or combination of the following: substance abuse issues – drug and/or alcohol, mental issues, those recently released from jail/prison, people with HIV Aids, etc. and the general public (as walk-ins). 

Project location: 1720 – 1726 N. Gower St. 

The Neighborhood’s Position: Not one more social service for Hollywood or downtown Los Angeles. Hollywood and downtown L.A. have been generous enough. Hollywood has over 20 social services in a one-mile radius around Hollywood & Gower. This project mostly likely will attract more homeless into the area making a bad situation worse. We feel other city council districts need to build facilities for the homeless. We ask that the city adopt the Beachwood Voice’s Fair Share Mandate and abandon this project.
