On Wednesday the L.A. City Board of Public Works voted to deny the two appeals filed against the coastal permit issued for the proposed conversion of the Venice Ramada Inn to a homeless shelter.
One appeal claimed that the proposed homeless shelter would undermine public safety, while a second appeal raised numerous concerns relevant to the California Coastal Act and legality of the City’s planning proceedings.

SACRAMENTO A six-month sprint to convert hotels, motels and other vacant buildings into homeless housing has created shelter for more than 8,000 people at a fraction of the cost of new construction, state officials said Friday.
The Homekey program, which was launched last summer with money from the federal coronavirus relief package, awarded nearly $800 million to dozens of California cities and counties to purchase sites and convert them into housing with supportive services by the end of 2020.
