With money approved by LA voters, apartments for homeless "finally" open

In 2016, Los Angeles voters signed off on a ballot measure (Proposition HHH) setting aside more than $1 billion for construction of permanent housing to alleviate the city's homeless crisis.

On Monday, more than three years later, local officials celebrated the opening of the first five dozen affordable apartments funded by the measure. Residents began moving into the South LA housing complex, called 88th and Vermont, in December 2019. The property is now 100% occupied.
