L.A. Council Member LaBonge Visits PATH

This morning Los Angeles Council Member Tom LaBonge spent some time visiting PATH and discussing the homeless problem in his district. He represents the Fourth Council district that covers parts of Silverlake, Hollywood, Miracle Mile, Hancock Park, Koreatown, and North Hollywood. Click here for his website.

Of course, homelessness affects every district in Los Angeles.

The Council Member talked about the importance of utilizing existing resources effectively, the fact that there are squatter camps within the Hollywood Hills, and how homelessness has been a problem that our community has neglected for many years.

We are also working with his office in support of our first Project Y!MBY event in December, when the Greater Hollywood community is going to mobilize to help homeless people who are on the streets. (More information on this event will follow later.)
