LA county Supervisor Janice Hahn: Homes for Heroes in Hollydale

Our nation prides itself in how we honor our veterans– Veterans Day parades… recognition at sporting events…early boarding on planes.  Yet, many of the men and women who put their own lives on the line for us now struggle with poverty and keeping up with Southern California’s soaring rents.  We can and we must do better.

Today, I’m thrilled to tell you about my new project:Homes for Heroes Hollydale– a plan to build affordable apartments for veterans on an underutilized county-owned lot in Downey. These apartments will give hope, stability, and dignity to the men and women who served our country with courage and valor.

To all LA County residents reading this, thank you. Building Homes for Heroes Hollydale would be impossible without your support but together I know we can make it happen.

To the veterans reading this, thank you. I hope that we as a nation can live up to the sacrifices you made on our behalf.
