Continuing his efforts to find innovative and effective solutions to help homeless individuals move off the streets, CD 13 Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell recently launched L.A.’s first Safe Sleep Village on a former parking lot in Rampart Village. The first-of-its kind pilot program will provide 73 spaces and new tents for unhoused individuals. On-site services, including meals, showers, bathrooms and counseling, will be offered 24/7 and managed on site by Urban Alchemy, CD 13’s outreach partner that helped to successfully place approximately 200 people who were camping at Echo Park Lake into transitional housing.
