A heated Venice, LA community meeting erupted as over 100 residents, business owners, and parents voiced outrage over two supportive housing programs—The Journey Program and Safe Place for Youth—claiming they’ve fueled crime and drug activity. Emotional testimonies revealed disturbing discoveries and children too unsafe to play outside. While program reps promised to listen, residents demanded real action and accountability. Councilmember Traci Park acknowledged months of complaints and warned future funding could be at risk if safety doesn’t improve.
