The state grant will help L.A. County place more than half of Skid Row's homeless population into interim housing.
A $60-million state grant recently awarded to L.A. County’s Department of Health Services will jump-start a plan to provide interim housing and services for more than half of Skid Row’s homeless population over the next three years.
L.A. County Supervisor Hilda Solis, whose district includes Skid Row and proposed the Skid Row Action Plan last year, said in a statement that the state grant will ultimately save lives. Black people and Latinos make up a large portion of Skid Row’s population. At least 36% of the people experiencing homelessness in the neighborhood suffer from mental illness, 33% reported substance use disorder and 38% reported having experienced domestic violence.
The interim housing and health center are part of the county’s Skid Row Action Plan that was developed last year in June.
