US EditionLA County seeks Homekey-Plus funds for 6 projects to house homeless, including motel in Torrance
- On May 27, 2025, county supervisors in Los Angeles approved six permanent housing initiatives for individuals experiencing homelessness, including the conversion of a motel in Torrance.
- These applications followed Proposition 1's March 2024 passage, which allocates about $2 billion statewide for permanent supportive housing, and the county submitted them by the May 23 deadline.
- The projects, including converting Huntington Villas into 53 permanent units with $5.2 million from the Department of Mental Health, will add tenant services like substance-use disorder support and rental subsidies.
- The motion passed 3-0 with Supervisors Hahn, Mitchell, and Solis voting yes, but the Torrance project faced opposition from residents and business leaders concerned about safety and economic impacts.
- If funded by Governor Newsom, these projects could remove about 120 of Torrance’s 355 unhoused residents from the streets into safe, permanent homes by late 2025.
