LACDMH Director Dr. Lisa H. Wong joined First District Supervisor Hilda L. Solis on October 8 at the Los Angeles General Medical Center for a groundbreaking ceremony. The site will host the first phase of the Century Housing development at the medical center’s Restorative Care Village. The project will bring 146 supportive and affordable homes to the site and will include shared community spaces, a 12-bed peer respite facility, and on-site supportive services.
The larger Restorative Care Village at LA General Medical Center will feature new behavioral health facilities, including a mental health urgent care center, a residential withdrawal management unit, and a 128-bed mental health rehabilitation center. These efforts are a part of the County’s broader Restorative Care Village model, which integrates physical and behavioral health services in an integrated location.
Los Angeles City Councilmember Ysabel Jurado also attended the event; Emilio Salas, Executive Director of the Los Angeles County Development Authority, and more.
