The historic Los Angeles County General Hospital, a once cutting-edge medical facility, is closer to becoming affordable housing — another milestone in the building’s nearly 90-year history.
The revision plans could include at least 500 low-cost apartments for unhoused and extremely low-income Angelenos.
“I know that this is a bold step,” said Solis. “There is an opportunity to develop not only housing, but job creation [and] health wellness for many members of our communities. This complements the entire vision of the campus as a healthy village.” Where the more than $150 million in funding comes from is a source of concern for the board. They’d like to see a permanent solution. However, at this stage, the supervisors have only approved a report about funding and plans — no final decisions have been made. But Solis wants to see her “legacy project” through to completion.
“We can take a great step forward,” Solis said, “ensuring that more folks will get the help that they need that this board has talked about for the last eight years that I have been serving.” The county will have to clean up the building and make extensive repairs before any construction. Its condition isn’t fit for long-term living yet, and the utilities on-site aren’t usable. That’s where millions in funding will likely go before any large-scale renovations.What questions do you have about Southern California?
