A sprawling 278-unit residential tower in the Skid Row neighborhood of Los Angeles is set to open in June and will provide homeless people with several benefits.
A massive residential tower in California will provide homeless people with a swanky new living space and luxury amenities, including a café, gym and TV lounge. The 19-story tower, which is set to open this month in Los Angeles' Skid Row neighborhood, will provide sprawling views of downtown and the San Gabriel Mountains, the Los Angeles Times reported. 'We’re trying to make our little corner of the world look and feel a little better,' Weingart Center Assn.
The 278-unit building for formerly homeless people will offer a slew of amenities in addition to a floor for caseworkers and property managers. These benefits include a café, a courtyard, a gym, an art room, a soundproof music room, a computer room and library, a TV lounge and six large balconies. A commercial kitchen in the building will also serve a 600-bed shelter next door. The building is one of three towers.
Pete White, executive director of the Skid Row advocacy group Los Angeles Community Action Network, said more housing is needed in the area and the project stands as a testament to what a 'stabilized' Skid Row can look like. 'I see the tower as providing a great need, a great housing need in Skid Row and a design that says poor residents are worthy,' he added. Weingart did not immediately return Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
