Griffith Park may be getting temporary homeless shelter

LOS FELIZ, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A temporary homeless shelter may be coming to Griffith Park.

The Los Angeles Parks Commission has approved plans for a shelter to serve up to 100 people along Riverside Drive.

The project still needs to be funded by the city council.

There is precedent for this - following World War II, an affordable housing project for military families was installed in the park.
