Some Los Angeles residents fear a new homeless shelter may soon be coming to their neighborhood with elementary schools and a day care facility nearby, according to city documents obtained through a public records request made by the residents.
Community members in Westchester and Playa del Rey say they discovered city officials requested information on two properties owned by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) to potentially establish temporary pallet housing for the homeless. One of the locations—North of Westchester Blvd, east of Fire Station 5 and west of La Tijera—is an empty plot of land a few hundred feet south of a preschool through 8th-grade Catholic school.
