Dozens of new apartments for homeless people could rise in Chatsworth after the Los Angeles City Council voted Tuesday to fund a rare proposal to build such housing in the northwest San Fernando Valley.
from Chatsworth residents, the neighborhood council, and the councilman recently elected to represent the area, John Lee, who had said the proposed project was “out of scale” with the neighborhood and was pushed through the approval process without enough community outreach.
But other residents and homeless advocates urged the council to fund the Chatsworth project, saying that such housing was needed all over Los Angeles. With the bulk of the HHH money now committed, they said, it’s unlikely that there would be another chance to spend those dollars in District 12. Lee said that neither he nor the last two representatives of District 12 had rejected any HHH proposals for the area, but none had ever reached the council for approval before. He touted their earlier efforts to bring the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission to the district, saying the shelter had been successful, in part, because it was responsive to community concerns.
