A new housing complex in Hollywood is welcoming seniors home. Nearly 60 people have a safe place to lay their heads thanks to government assistance programs and donations.
"Pink and baby blue, light blue. That's my two favorite colors," she said after welcoming journalists into her home."The streets are very dangerous. It is very dangerous. I've seen a lot, you know. It was hard," said Diaz, who lived on Skid Row. "God took care of me, and I had a lot of friends on the streets that were watching me all the time. If I needed this or if I needed that, they were there for me.
"Seniors who spent their life working in the service industry, maybe didn't have a pension, didn't have 401. You can't support yourself on Social Security if you have that," Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said. Enrique Saldaña, a PATH Villas Hollywood project director, said they can connect residents with mental health services, offer bi-weekly grocery distribution, social events and more.
But she hasn't forgotten about people who still do not have shelter and calls on elected officials to help.
