LOS ANGELES - Mayor Eric Garcetti and other Los Angeles-area elected officials joined the Skid Row Housing Trust to announce the grand opening of a permanent supportive housing building and medical clinic in the Skid Row area of downtown Los Angeles.

The project, called "649 Lofts,'' located at 649 Wall St., has 54 studio units between 385 and 400 square feet. It began admitting residents in March and is the second of three Skid Row Housing Trust projects expected to open in 2021.
