July 10, 2024 – Every day, dozens of people line up outside the nonprofit Homeless Healthcare Los Angeles to pick up crack pipes and other drug paraphernalia, then, they light up right there on the Skid Row sidewalk. “It looks very much like a government-run crack house on the sidewalk.”
Throughout the day, drug dealers can be seen profiting from selling drugs to the very people Homeless Healthcare LA is supposed to be helping. In the video, a person connected to the nonprofit is seen fist-bumping a drug dealer before entering the building.
“What you see in this video is nothing short of the worst drug location in Skid Row right now, and that’s saying a lot because Skid Row is the drug and overdose capital of Los Angeles,” Lopez said.
Lopez notified city and county officials about the activities outside the nonprofit a year ago.
“I represent business people, people who come there to work, people who live on Skid Row, and people who work on Skid Row. They want their area to be safe. They deserve the same level of safety and attention as any other community,” she emphasized.
