LOS ANGELES—The City Council on Oct. 20 unanimously approved a hotly debated interim housing facility for unhoused Angelenos in West L.A., which has sparked fierce opposition and frustration among some local residents.
The council voted 14–0, with Councilman Marqueece Harris-Dawson absent during the vote, to fund nearly $4.6 million for the construction, lease and operation of the proposed housing project slated to open in 2024 at 2377 Midvale Ave., near Pico and Westwood boulevards.
