TVC Responds to LA Times Reporting on VA Veterans Survey

The LA Times (in an article dated Oct. 16, 2024) shares quotes from Vets Advocacy leadership that are both misleading and inflammatory. They accuse The Veterans Collective of “misrepresentation” and “misleading the community.” They associate TVC with the shameful illegal activity of the past. All these statements are patently false. TVC has operated with full transparency since it was selected by the VA as principal developer in 2018. Over the years, we have conducted extensive Veteran outreach in good faith. Despite requesting the full survey results from the VA multiple times, they were not shared with TVC until yesterday.

Mission

The West Los Angeles Veterans Collective is deeply committed to the successful transition of military Veterans and their families through the provision of service-enriched housing that promotes recovery, wellness, and a more hopeful future.

Vision

In keeping with the spirit of the original 1888 conveyance and the vision of the Draft Master Plan, the West Los Angeles Community Plan envisions a vibrant, cohesive, and supportive residential neighborhood for homeless and at-risk Veterans and their families on the North Campus of the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs campus.

History

The West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs campus has a long and evolving history of serving our Veteran community.

The West LA Veterans Collective recognizes the value that the physical and cultural history of the campus offers for our ability to serve the growing needs of our Veterans in the future. While we are planning for this future, we’ve already started acting upon it.

Therapeutic Community Plan

This Veteran-serving community will include Case Management, Veteran support, and Health and Wellness services to provide a caring environment for residents to heal and grow. Learn more about building a Therapeutic Community.

Planning a Veteran-serving neighborhood on the West LA VA campus has involved many agencies, consultants, and stakeholders – spending thousands of hours on research, analysis, consideration, and design. The West Los Angeles Veterans Community Plan is being built upon these documents, plans, and surveys.
