When Los Angeles broke ground on the new Weingart Towers housing project in Skid Row on Sept. 28, many Los Angeles officials, including Mayor Eric Garcetti, touted the move as one of the most “comprehensive solutions to homelessness,” also crediting Proposition HHH, a 2016 ballot initiative that partially funded the project.
A total of $48 million of the Prop HHH funds will go to the construction of the Weingart Towers—Los Angeles’s largest expected homeless housing development—on Skid Row; $32 million to the first tower, which will provide 382 units to homeless people, and another $16 million to a second 104 unit-tower.
