Horvath announced at the groundbreaking ceremony a $10 million commitment to help rebuild the Palisades-Malibu YMCA, which was destroyed in the January\u00a0wildfires. The pledge is part of a $25 million capital campaign launched by the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles to restore and expand the beloved community center.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommunity isn\u2019t just about the homes we live in\u2014it\u2019s also about the places where we come together, where we build relationships, and where we watch our children grow,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath<\/strong>. \u201cThe Palisades-Malibu YMCA has long been one of those beloved gathering spaces, and its loss after the fires remains deeply felt. Today\u2019s launch is more than just a construction milestone\u2014it\u2019s a symbol of recovery, resilience, and hope. I\u2019m proud to invest in rebuilding the new Lowe Family YMCA and to stand with this community as we restore what was lost. This is a vital step toward healing\u2014and a powerful reminder that we will be back in community, together, soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWords cannot describe our gratitude to Supervisor Horvath and the Lowe Family for spearheading this gift to the community,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Victor Dominguez, President and CEO of the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles<\/strong>. \u201cAs the Center for Community Well-Being with 28 centers across the L.A. region, we have always been a place where everyone belongs. Now we can ensure that the Palisades community members will once again be able to gather at their local Y, where everyone is invited to grow, give, and get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rebuilt YMCA will feature two campuses: a restored Via de la Paz site and an expanded Simon Meadow facility, offering new indoor-outdoor spaces rooted in nature and community. The Via de la Paz campus is expected to receive partial support from FEMA\u2019s Public Assistance program. The Simon Meadow expansion is entirely donor-funded through community giving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES, CA\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Today, Los Angeles County\u00a0Supervisor&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74745","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ca-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74745","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74745"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":74746,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74745\/revisions\/74746"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
