Venice Update has made a serious error.  This morning the LA Times published an article covering Homeless projects throughout Los Angeles.  The Venice Update has been assuming that all homeless/psh projects were in Venice.

All CD11 homeless projects with the exception of 70 plus units on the old Animal Shelter land are in Venice.  That part is true.  But it was implied that all the homeless projects for the City of LA were also only in Venice.  The LA Times article certainly indicates that this is not true at all.

Council District 16 has 816 units pledged, in the making, actually status unknown.  Six of the 15 districts have more than 300 units in some stage of work.  CD11 shows only 190 and it is unknown what projects this refers to or  the  status of the projects.

Proposed new projects for Venice are:  718 – 720 Rose, 35 units; Thatcher Yard, 98 units; Venice Median, 140.  None of these have been completely approved by both LA City Planning and the California Coastal Commission.

Venice Update relied on information of projects that were going thru the LA City Council Homeless and Poverty Committee and lands available listed with the City Administrator’s Request for Qualifications/Proposals for the Affordable Housing Sites.

The Venice Update was incorrect and apologizes.  The LA Times article.
