Coronavirus and financial hurdles are delaying projects to build homeless housing

Skid Row Housing Trust, a downtown nonprofit that develops supportive housing, has failed to make the cut three times for projects totaling 161 units in South Los Angeles and Van Nuys, spokeswoman Lisa Rios said. So far, Rios said, the delays in obtaining vouchers have extended the two projects by a year and a half and added $1 million to their costs.
