LOS ANGELES (KABC) — With help from bulldozers, the remains of homeless encampments – most of them once occupied by veterans – were cleared out and cleaned up on San Vicente Boulevard Monday.
Tents sheltering about 40 homeless veterans had been pitched in front of the Brentwood VA for some 20 months.
Local agencies have been working to find homes and housing facilities for the homeless veterans. The furniture, clothing and debris that were still littering the street Monday were considered left behind by those who had been placed.
The veterans have been moved to temporary housing which includes dorms on the VA campus, tiny homes and housing with Project Roomkey. Some are also being housed in tents on the VA property – just on the other side of the fence from the former encampments.
