Last year, my team and I coordinated an effort with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, LA Family Housing, and LA County Department of Mental Health’s HOME Program to house 35 individuals at the Foothill Lot in Lake View Terrace. That property, which is adjacent to the 210 Freeway Osborne exit, has been a challenge for decades, largely suffering from illegal dumping.
After persistent coordination with Caltrans, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Southern California Edison, I am proud to announce that the construction to permanently secure the lot with fencing has begun! Completion is expected by the end of this month.
I’m proud to deliver these long overdue investments and security enhancements to this location, complicated for being both a high fire severity zone and multi-jurisdictional lot. The required coordination was unprecedented, and I will continue to hold these agencies accountable to maintain their right of way.
I look forward to sharing the continued progress on my efforts to solve long standing public health and safety challenges at this location and others throughout our community.
