Update On Hollywood Church Property Purchased By CRA For The Homeless

Here is an update on the property that the Los Angeles Community Redevelopment Agency purchased from the First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood. The purchase price was $5.8 million.

The L.A. Weekly states that CRA purchased a 12-story apartment building. That is not accurate. I believe it is a three story apartment building, a large parking lot, and the building that houses Traveler’s Aid Society of Los Angeles (a program for homeless youth.)

Again, it appears there will be a NIMBY fight between the agency that contracts with CRA and some local neighbors. However, a large interfaith coalition, L.A.’s Voice, is supporting the project. They are a group of local faith communities in the neighborhood.
