The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion July 26 to advance a plan to repurpose the county’s historic General Hospital to include hundreds of affordable housing units.

Under the proposal introduced by Supervisor Hilda Solis, county departments must develop a financial plan and construction timeline for the project within 120 days. In addition, it also requires the county to allocate nearly $195 million to fund the project, according to Solis’s office.
