Councilmember Curren Price introduced a motion for the city to continue supporting residents displaced by an LAPD fireworks explosion. The motion would authorize $2.37 million to assist with housing for those whose homes were severely damaged.
Just weeks after he was publicly rebuked for chiding residents displaced by a Los Angeles police fireworks explosion, Councilmember Curren Price introduced a motion Wednesday for the city to continue supporting families still living in a hotel.
On June 30, 2021, the LAPD bomb squad botched the detonation of a fireworks cache discovered in the backyard of a home on 27th Street. The resulting blast injured 17 people and badly damaged homes. More than 80 residents were displaced. Price’s motion was introduced Wednesday, after being signed by him and seconded by Councilmember Heather Hutt during Tuesday’s meeting. Price had intended to formally introduce the proposal Tuesday, but it wasn’t accepted by the City Clerk’s office due to a technicality after the meeting adjourned early, Price’s office said.
It would also authorize the transfer of $100,000 to the Los Angeles Housing Department to extend its contract with Overland Pacific & Cutler through Jan. 23, 2024, for continued relocation assistance. In a January letter, city officials told families that the contract for temporary housing assistance would end on March 31. Residents would be responsible for any charges at the hotel after that date, the letter stated.
On March 1, following news of the extension, around 20 renters and homeowners gathered for a community meeting to talk about their needs. A representative from Price’s office also attended.
