In June 2018, LAPD officers ordered the residents of an illegally converted South L.A. church building to evacuate. The conditions there were far from unique amid L.A. County's housing crisis.
The illegally converted church in South Los Angeles had no gas, water or electricity when Amelda Glaspie moved in.
A city notice is posted on the illegally converted church building in the 800 block of West 57th Street.Although the living situation at the squalid building was extreme, it is far from unique in a county racked by a shortage of affordable housing where nearly 59,000 people are homeless. Department of Building and Safety records show that the city received complaints about the property dating to 2016 and earlier. One February 2017 caller, who identified himself as a Los Angeles police sergeant, said it reminded him of the Ghost Ship.
A photo provided by a staffer for Los Angeles Councilman Curren Price shows a room with a broken door and other stacked items at the illegally converted church. In an August phone interview, Hoffman said the property had been sold and declined to comment further. Shepherd and Vandenberg could not be reached for comment.
Victor James, who works for the nonprofit Homeless Outreach Program Integrated Care System, said he was there when the building was cleared out and had tried to help residents, including Glaspie, find temporary housing.
