LAT’s Steve Lopez Promotes Permanent Supportive Housing

The solution, according to LA Times columnist Steve Lopez, to downtown Skid Row neighborhoods is permanent supportive housing. He writes about it in his column today. Permanent supportive housing is affordable housing that also provides support services on-site.

This is the type of project that will happen in Hollywood, if approvals pass. There is a proposed permanent supportive housing project being considered on Gower Street, just south of the 101 Freeway.

The Community Redevelopment Agency, that bought the property and will bid it out to developers, has not yet decided on demographics and services for the project.
