Los Angeles Diocese Partners with Non-Profit to House the Homeless | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The city of Los Angeles is facing a severe shortage of housing for low-income renters. A solution might be coming from the Catholic Church. A recently passed state law allows religious groups to fast-track new housing on properties they already own, and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles now says it will partner with a new non-profit called Our Lady Queen of Angels Housing Alliance to develop affordable housing in Southern California next to a community college. It's the first project is to build affordable apartments on property being used by Catholic Charities. Executive Director of Our Lady Queen of Angels Housing Alliance and former Chief of Housing for the City of Los Angeles, Amy Anderson, joins to tell us whether she can provide some insight into the size and scale of the homelessness problem in Los Angeles. At the heart of this mission is California state Bill 4. She shares more about what it says and how it paves way for this mission. Anderson discusses how the partnership between her organization and the archdiocese came about. She explains how much land and property the archdiocese can provide and how much of an impact it will have. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
