South L.A. also gets its first new homeless shelter, inching the city closer to its goal of crisis homeless housing in every neighborhood.
A women’s shelter opened Tuesday in a restored Midcentury Modern library building in Hollywood, continuing the trend of converting distinctive structures to take homeless people off the sagging entertainment community’s streets.
Neighbor Karen Miniotti looks over the Gardner Public Library’s original circulation desk, which was restored in the newly repurposed Gardner Library Women’s Bridge Shelter in Hollywood, Calif., on Sept. 10, 2019.A 64-bed crisis housing facility for women opened in November in the former Hollywood Studio Club, a 1926 Mediterranean landmark designed by Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan.
At the shelter opening Tuesday, Ryu said the property didn’t initially pop up on the city’s list of possible shelter sites because the sanitation department had an air scrubber on part of the property. The residents, who will begin moving in next week, will use the original book shelves for storage. The louvered windows and interior brick wall were kept, and a low-slung sofa and hanging pendant light fixtures pick up the Midcentury theme.
Darren Gold, 48, a marketing professional whose apartment overhangs the library property, said homeless people had lived behind the ugly green screen fence on the library grounds during the building’s long hiatus.Garcetti, in brief remarks at the opening, said that up to 26 shelter projects are pending in neighborhoods throughout the city.
