A Temporary Homeless Shelter Opens In Venice With 154 Beds

ABC7 reports that a homeless shelter has opened in Venice with 100 beds for adults and 54 beds for young people.

The shelter, called The Pacific Sunset, opened Tuesday (02/25), coming as an effort to combat the homelessness crisis across the city of Venice. This comes as part of LA Mayor Eric Garcetti's "A Bridge Home" initiative, which aims to build a new shelter in each city council district.

ABC7 notes that this is the 10th shelter under the program, equaling a total of 673 beds available for shelter. ABC7 adds that this site is the first under the program to be partially dedicated to serving "transitional age youth" who are experiencing homelessness, according to officials.

Additionally, the first 31 residents moved in Tuesday and the rest will begin moving in over the next week.

The Pacific Sunset site will also offer occupants washing supplies, offering each youth a bag of essentials. ABC7 adds that the the young residents will sleep areas were specifically designed to look more like dorm rooms.
