The first temporary emergency homeless shelter in the city of Los Angeles opened its doors Wednesday near the historic El Pueblo de Los Angeles Monument.
Los Angeles’ first “A Bridge Home” temporary bridge housing site will serve 45 people, men and women who once stayed on the streets near the area. They have been preselected and spend their first night at the site on Sept. 10.
