Workshop Offered on City Housing Plan

The second of five community workshops on the housing portion of the Los Angeles General Plan will take place Saturday at the Canoga Park Senior Citizen Center.

Adopted from the 1989-1991 General Plan, the draft housing plan analyzes current and future housing needs for all economic segments of the community, sets goals and establishes policies. It also outlines a five-year schedule for local government to achieve the plan’s objectives.

Such issues as overcrowding and special housing needs for large families, the elderly and the handicapped are also covered.

The Planning Department’s public workshop will take place from 9 to 11 a.m. at the senior citizen center, 7326 Jordan Ave. in Canoga Park.

The remainder of the workshops are scheduled as follows:

Jan. 17 at the Watts Senior Citizen Center, 1657 E. Century Blvd. in Los Angeles, 9 to 11 a.m.

Jan. 24 at the Westminster Senior Citizen Center, 1234 Pacific Ave. in Venice, 9 to 11 a.m.

Jan. 31 at the Sun Valley Recreation Center, 8133 Vineland Ave., 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Those with disabilities requiring sign-language interpreters, listening devices or other aids or services should call Herman van Buren at (213) 473-3792 no later than three working days before the meeting they wish to attend.
