Tent-Like Structure Next to Church Has Several Components
By Nick Antonicello
A new encampment was set up last week and according to area residents, drug use is evident.
The exact location is 6th & Broadway in the Oakwood neighborhood of Venice.
Locals are concerned about the drug use taking place so close to a church, as the encampment is a series of structures, tarps and other items that are now occupying the sidewalk and creating a deterrent for pedestrian access.

According to those area residents, there have been disturbances from this encampment.
It is unclear how many individuals are living in this structure at this time.
