When this item was approved in committee, councilmembers overruled John Lee's opposition to funding a single supportive housing development planned in Chatsworth. A similar conflict is likely at the full council vote. The meeting will start at 10 a.m. at City Hall, 200 N. Spring Street (public entrance on Main Street) in downtown Los Angeles. Everyone In is calling for advocates to gather at 9:30 a.m. in the rotunda. Details at meeting agenda - see item 25.

In January 2019, Metro received development proposals for the Little Tokyo/Arts District Station site, then chose four development teams. The open house is an opportunity for attendees to meet the four development teams, learn about their proposals, ask questions, and provide feedback. Rsvp and details at Eventbrite.
