A New Judgment on Housing for Disabled Veterans

In response to a federal judge’s ruling regarding housing for disabled and homeless Veterans on the West Los Angeles VA campus, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, The Veterans Collective is pleased to see that Judge David O. Carter appears ready to take on the institutional barriers that have slowed the delivery of housing for thousands of homeless and at-risk veterans and families on the West LA VA Campus. His order clearly identifies how restrictions attached to federal, state and local funding make critically needed supportive and affordable housing slow to develop, and inaccessible to those who need it most.

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.
