Santa Monica’s Bold Moves on Housing, Safety, and Revival | Los Angeles News

Santa Monica’s bold new Master Leasing Program is turning vacant buildings into lifelines for the unhoused, while police ramp up DUI enforcement this Friday night. Tragedy struck Sunday with the loss of a 92-year-old couple in a devastating house fire — their 70-year marriage left a community heartbroken. Meanwhile, digital billboards are returning to downtown, promising $3-7 million annually to fund housing and art. And on August 23rd, Santa Monica Place invites you to “Wellness on the Westside” — fitness, portraits, and community revival in one vibrant evening.
