In Brief

An unofficial encampment of over a dozen RVs, cars, and buses used as housing has formed outside the LA Housing Authority building in Gardena. Residents have been there for three months to a year, despite no-parking signs and municipal code.

An unofficial encampment of over a dozen RVs, cars, and buses used as housing has formed outside the LA Housing Authority building in Gardena. Residents report staying on the street for three months to a year, despite no-parking signs and municipal code violations.

Behind the fence, a city-run Safe Parking program with 25 spots costs about $365,000 per year, offering registered guests dinner, restrooms, and security. The Authority says outreach workers regularly engage with nearby residents, but they refuse to join the program.

County officials confirmed they are aware of the issue and will send outreach teams to work with residents. The encampment's location directly outside the agency responsible for addressing housing problems in the city highlights the irony of the situation.
