“1200 Homes for Vets on VA Campus” Hears from Brentwood Homeowners Association

The Brentwood Homeowners Association sent a five-page letter to United States Department of Veteran Affairs regarding a plan for what went out in a press release as “1200 homes on VA Campus.”

There is a meeting scheduled for 26 April, 5:30 to 7 pm at the West LA VA Medical Center, Building 500, R00m 1281, to hear about the proposal.

It was stated in the press release that the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System announced a proposal to enter into a 75-year lease with a principal developer in order to develop 1200 homes for homeless veterans at the VA West LA campus and build a real veteran community.

The Brentwood Homeowners Association letter states:

The development must be done in accordance with legally required procedures and process. In this case, the Proposal and the Project are unlawful because:

1. The Public Hearing Notice is legally deficient, ambiguous, and incomplete.
2. The Proposal and the Project, and any approval of the Project, prior to full NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) compliance, violates the Los Angeles Homeless Veterans Leasing Act of 2015 (“Act”), including specifically Section 2(f)(2) of the Act, and violates the requirements of NEPA.
