Cities across California are facing an unprecedented homelessness crisis. It is estimated that over 161,000 Californians are experiencing homelessness, including over 66,000 in Los Angeles County with over 41,000 of those found in the City of Los Angeles. The global pandemic only exacerbated this humanitarian crisis. This adaptive reuse exhibit is intended to shed light on affordable housing solutions to combat the ongoing housing crisis LA is currently facing while preserving some of the architecturally stunning buildings in Los Angeles. | |||
