A Bridge Home shelter will open today — Saturday, April 4 — at the Veterans Administration campus in Brentwood in an effort to protect homeless veterans during the coronavirus pandemic.
“This is a small payment on the debt we owe our veterans, and I am grateful this facility is finally opening its doors and letting unhoused veterans in,” Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin said. “We can’t rest until every veteran has a place to call home and until every unsheltered person in Los Angeles is allowed to come indoors.”
The facility is a joint partnership with the city and county of Los Angeles and will offer 50 beds for homeless veterans who are not showing symptoms of the coronavirus.
