Mayor Karen Bass speaks during a grand opening ceremony on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, for the Weingart Tower, a 19-story, 278-unit permanent supportive housing development in Skid Row for homeless people currently living in the area. Tower I, which is at 555 S. Crocker St. near 6th Street, features 228 studio apartments and 50 one-bedroom apartments, three of which are for onsite managers. Forty units are reserved for veterans.
Murray, who previously served in the California state Assembly and state Senate, and other speakers at Wednesday’s event, said people who have been living on the streets deserve a place they’re proud to call home. L.A. Mayor Karen Bass also cited the need to provide outlets like art and music to help residents heal from traumas they’ve experienced while living on the streets.“Skid Row is the epicenter of the unhoused situation in our city, but it also provides the hope and the opportunity … and we will see the transformation of Skid Row,” she said. Bass said she hopes the Weingart project will serve as a model that can be replicated citywide.
