SACRAMENTO — Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn is in Sacramento May 8 and 9 meeting with state officials about the Southeast Gateway Line and Hahn’s proposal to use a piece of vacant state property for mental health treatment facilities.
Supervisor Hahn May 8 is leading a delegation of city leaders from Southeast Los Angeles and the Gateway Cities to meet with legislators about the Southeast Gateway Line, which received unanimous final approval from the Metro Board last month. The $7.1 billion project, which will break ground this year, will connect southeast LA County to Downtown Los Angeles from Artesia through Cerritos, Bellflower, Paramount, Downey, South Gate, Cudahy, Bell, Huntington Park and Vernon to Union Station.
Nearly half the residents in the neighborhoods that will be served by this line live below the poverty level, including one-in-five residents who are transit dependent and don’t have access to their own car.
Tomorrow, Supervisor Hahn May 9 will meet with members of Gov. Newsom’s administration and Sen. Bob Archuleta about her proposal to use six vacant buildings on the massive Metro State Hospital property in Norwalk to provide treatment, care, and housing to individuals with mental illness.
Hahn is meeting with state officials to discuss the possibility of the state leasing a portion of the Metro State Hospital campus to Los Angeles County to build this community.
Hahn is proposing that the “LA County Care Community” on the Metro State Hospital campus provide both mental health treatment and housing with two buildings dedicated to subacute beds, two buildings dedicated to interim housing, and two buildings dedicated to permanent supportive housing.
