Abandoned LA Hospital Reborn as Homeless Support Hub by 2028
A closed Los Angeles hospital is being transformed into a major support hub for homeless residents. The St. Vincent Medical Center in Boyle Heights, purchased by a private investment group in 2023, will reopen as the Hope of Los Angeles campus. The project aims to provide shelter, healthcare, job training, and other essential services in one location.
Israeli-American investor Shay Yadin, co-founder of the Keddem Group, led the acquisition of the shuttered hospital. His team is now converting the site into a centralized facility for over 1,000 homeless individuals each year. The first phase, offering 205 interim housing beds, is set to open within months.
The full campus will eventually include 800 beds, mixing temporary and long-term supportive housing. Services will extend beyond the homeless, also assisting low-income residents at risk of losing their homes. The project brings together private investors, nonprofits, health providers, and government agencies. Local officials had previously pushed for the hospital’s reopening to tackle homelessness in the area. Now, the redeveloped site will function as a one-stop hub for medical care, employment support, and housing assistance. Construction and service rollout will continue in stages over the next two years. If additional government funding is secured, the entire campus should be fully operational by early 2028.
The Hope of Los Angeles campus will offer a mix of immediate and long-term support for vulnerable residents. With 800 beds and a range of services, it aims to address homelessness through housing, healthcare, and job training. The phased opening begins soon, with full completion expected within five years.
