A coalition of advocates on Tuesday accused Los Angeles of wanting to give skid row over to luxury housing developers, ignoring the desperate straits of thousands of people living in tents and shelters in the blighted downtown district.
Alarmed by the threat of gentrification, a coalition of advocates on Tuesday accused Los Angeles of wanting to give the bulk of skid row over to luxury housing developers, ignoring the desperate straits of thousands of people living in tents and shelters in the blighted downtown district.
Protesters said only a third of historic skid row would be protected for homeless people and offer “deeply affordable” housing. Skid row resident Suzette Shaw, community leaders and homeless advocates hold a news conference in L.A. to oppose rezoning of skid row on July 16, 2019. The Los Angeles Central Providers Collaborative — which includes several skid row service providers, shelters and the United Way of Greater Los Angeles — also has called for setting aside 25% of housing as affordable in all new downtown developments, plus anti-displacement protections and rent subsidies for as many as 7,000 new low-income units.
