(Photo by Keith Birmingham, Pasadena Star-News/ SCNG) By Kristy Hutchings | khutchings@scng.com and Chris Haire | chaire@scng.com | PUBLISHED: August 24, 2022 at 8:08 p.m. | UPDATED: August 25, 2022 at 9:33 a.m. California has doled out $338.5 million in grants to fund multiple housing projects in Los Angeles County, nearly half of the total $694 million that will be spread across 19 communities statewide — as part of the latest effort to alleviate the ongoing homeless crisis. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the grants, which are part of the state’s second round of Project Homekey funding, during a Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 24, press conference in Los Angeles. Multiple local officials also attended the press conference at an LA Homekey site, including current Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and 2022 mayoral candidate Rep. Karen Bass. The grants will fund 35 projects statewide. “This is one of many different components the state of California is investing in, but there’s nothing more urgent than addressing this fundamental frame that is our north star,” Newsom said at the press conference. “Shelters solve sleep, but housing and supportive services solve homelessness.” Project Homekey is a state-funded program initially launched in 2020 that provides grants to local jurisdictions looking to build interim and permanent affordable housing units for those who are homeless. Nearly 12,500 housing units have been built throughout California since the program launched two years ago, amid the coronavirus pandemic, officials said. Newsom has been releasing details about Homekey 2.0 funding for months. And with the funding announced Wednesday, the state’s Homekey housing is expected to rise by more than 2,500 units in the coming years, according to a press release from Newsom’s office. The Los Angeles region, to date, has received $948 million toward 62 Homekey projects, according to the state’s press release. And this year’s state budget, that release said, invests $3 billion in behavioral health housing, homeless emergency aid and encampment rehousing strategies. Los Angeles city received the largest amount in the state, with $277.3 million funding 10 projects, according to the press release from Newson’s office. Those projects will create 960 units. Part of that funding will go toward converting seven city sites, which will create 750 new permanent supportive housing units, according to a press release from Garcetti’s office.

(Credit: Office of Governor Gavin Newsom) Expand Including past allocations from earlier this year, the second round of Project Homekey funding will help LA city provide 15 new permanent housing sites with a 1,235 units, according to the mayor’s press release. Garcetti, in a statement, thanked Newsom for the help in the ongoing battle to stem the homeless crisis. “Project Homekey is more than just another tool in our toolbox in the work to end homelessness – it’s an opportunity for thousands to start anew, and an injection of pride and dignity that can keep Angelenos off the street for good,” Garcetti said. “Thanks to this latest infusion of funds, hundreds of people experiencing homelessness today will be offered the stability of a permanent home, the safety of a door with a lock, and the services they need to get back on their feet.” Long Beach, meanwhile, received about $30.5 million for two projects. The city will create 30 to 35 modular units, or tiny homes, near the city’s Multi-Service Center. Long Beach will also buy a motel and convert it into interim housing. Those two projects will create more than 100 additional housing units, city officials said on Wednesday. Los Angeles County received $24.6 million during this round of Homekey funding to pay for two projects that will create 78 units, according to the state. Details about the two county projects Newsom announced Wednesday were not immediately clear. But so far, the county has received $243 million during the second round of Homekey funding this year. Including the grants Newsom announced Wednesday, the second round of Homekey funding will allow the county to convert 14 hotels and multifamily apartments into interim or permanent housing, according Christina Villacorte, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative. A majority of the money will go toward bolstering the county’s interim housing stock. The 14 projects will add 720 units combined in Boyle Heights, Compton, East Hollywood, Inglewood, Koreatown, Redondo Beach, Lancaster, San Pedro, Westlake, Woodland Hills and unincorporated Los Angeles County. And nine of the properties, according to a county press release, will provide specific housing options for youth, veterans and families — who will also have access to supportive services. The Dunamis House, for example, will provide 40 interim units for youth at risk of homelessness in Boyle Heights. An additional five projects will create permanent housing, the county release said, and those sites will also offer resources for those in greater need of mental health care, substance abuse treatment and access to public benefits — to prevent future residents from becoming homeless again. One of those projects will create 76 studio apartments near Koreatown for people who are chronically homeless. West Hollywood, meanwhile, received $6 million for 20 interim units and one manager unit, according to the governor’s press release. Overall, the grants seem poised to further help local agencies statewide expand housing options for those without permanent shelter. “This generous grant will go a long way in helping reduce street homelessness in Long Beach,” Kelly Colopy, director of the Long Beach Department of Health and Human Services, said in a statement. “As we continue to expand outreach, it is critical that we also can meet shelter needs for people who are ready to receive services.” Homelessness, and a related housing shortage, remain a significant crisis across the state. And the coronavirus pandemic, officials have long said, only made the situation worse. Countywide, the current number of homeless people isn’t yet known – but it’s likely increased since the pandemic began, according to officials. And the homeless population in the county was already significant before the pandemic. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which conducts a point-in-time survey to count the number of unhoused people throughout LA County — excluding Long Beach, Pasadena and Glendale, which conduct their own counts — is set to release its 2022 results next month.

But the 2020 count found that 66,436 people in Los Angeles County were homeless that year, a 12.7% increase from 2019. Those numbers, Newsom said, have “demoralized” some Californians. But Project Homekey, and the state’s investments in housing expansion, should quell those concerns, the governor said. “Some people are demoralized. Some people frankly have given up given up on us and given up on the prospect that we can ever solve this issue,” Newsom said during the press conference. “And I want folks to know, they shouldn’t give up — we’re just getting started.” Staff writer Elizabeth Chou contributed to this report.
