Welcome

At the corner of Figueroa and Slauson in South Los Angeles., sits a former toxic brownfield that was polluted by the City and left fenced and barren since 1959. The City plans to build a park here but the design they have chosen is in direct opposition to what the community desires.  Instead of a green and sustainable park the city has chosen a design that over emphasizes hardscapes, and security fencing; the exact opposite of the feedback they received.

Since September of 2023, when we became aware of the city's plans our neighborhood council has been reaching out to our elected representives and the Department of Recreaton and Parks to advocate for a pause in development of this park until a design can be created with the support and input of the community. Connecting with the our city has been frustraing.  Rather than having a conversation with the community they have chosen to ignore us..

This YouTube video explains the history of the parcel at Figueroa and Slauson, makes the case for a green sustainable park, and describes our efforts so far. Don't forget to thumbs up.

If you want to see a green park in our community please sign the petition  

Thank you.

On Sunday, June 18, 2023, CicLAvia South LA transformed Vermont Ave. from a public street into a car-free public park for one day where friends and neighbors could walk, run, dance, stroll, bike, skate down the street from Exposition Blvd to Century Blvd. This event featured the 3rd annual Juneteenth Celebration and Resource Fair brought to you by Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell.

Voices NC had a booth at the Slauson/Vermont Hub and welcomed neighbors and friends offering hand sanitizers, bike lights, resource information, snacks and drinks.

Let's hope we can have more events in our neighborhood that bring together the community in a fun and positive way!

Why Count?

Count to help the thousands of men, women, and families that are sleeping without a permanent home across Los Angeles County every night.

The data collected is an essential component in understanding the scope and nature of homelessness in Los Angeles County and helps LAHSA and its partners deliver services where they are needed most.

Homelessness is a humanitarian crisis that takes the support of our entire community to end.
