VA Forced to Build Housing for Veterans | Venice Beach News

The Ninth Circuit just shut down the VA’s last-ditch effort to overturn a landmark ruling ordering them to build 2,550 supportive housing units for homeless veterans on their West LA campus — and it’s a major win for advocates. The court denied the VA’s request for a larger panel to review the case, leaving the original order intact. Now, the VA must deliver 750 temporary units within 18 months and 1,800 permanent units in six years — while also ending discriminatory income rules that exclude veterans whose disability payments count against them. The ruling also invalidates some of the VA’s leases, including with Brentwood School, though UCLA’s stadium lease stands. This final decision brings closure to years of advocacy and ensures the VA can’t appeal — a crucial step toward ending veteran homelessness and honoring those who served.
