New Skid Row Homeless Apartment Complex Has A Running Track And Art Studio

New Skid Row Homeless Apartment Complex Has A Running Track And Art Studio


October 11, 2014
by Christopher Statton

A new apartment building opened in downtown Los Angeles Wednesday, offering a community garden, library, running track, art room and exercise facilities to tenants.

Though it may sound like standard trappings for the city's elite, the complex houses exclusively homeless residents.

Better Homes & Gardens Today is a public art project  by Megan Wilson and Christopher Statton  developed to: 1) Heighten awareness around “home” and the realities of homelessness; 2) Cultivate a dialog within communities and amongst disparate groups about what is needed - funding and policy change - to end homelessness; and 3) To raise money to benefit the Gubbio Project, the Coalition On Homelessness, and At The Crossroads,  organizations working to address homelessness in San Francisco.  

All people, especially those who are living on the streets or have mental health or substance abuse issues, are worthy of respect, dignity, and loving kindness.
