Zev Yaroslavsky’s Homelessness Program Aims To Help Moms And Their Children

A residential program that will help 60 homeless moms manage mental health illnesses, gain stable housing and find employment celebrated its grand opening Friday in Pacoima.

Named for Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, the $1.8 million wing inside the Didi Hirsch Via Avanta building on Glenoaks Boulevard was hailed by county leaders and nonprofit groups as proof that collaboration can help solve one of the biggest problems in the region.

Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services raised more than $1.2 million in grants and loans from The Ahmanson Foundation, The Parsons Foundation, Los Angeles County’s District 3 and the California Health Facilities Financing Authority, while Yaroslavsky helped allocate an additional $542,000 for capital improvements, officials said.

Covered California Canceled Policies Will Stay Canceled

Steve Goldsberry said he knows what California’s decision not to allow canceled health insurance policies to be extended will cost him.

“Six grand a year,” said the Simi Valley general contractor who believes he may end up paying $500 more a month because his current policy doesn’t meet the Affordable Care Act’s standards. “I had insurance that was adequate. I got to choose. Now I no longer have a choice.”

A board governing the Covered California health insurance exchange decided Thursday to keep its requirement that insurers cancel individual and family policies by Dec. 31 if they don’t meet coverage standards under President Barack Obama’s reform program. A week earlier, the president asked states and insurers nationwide to extend the canceled policies a year, giving people struggling with the federal government’s faulty website a reprieve.

Israel has long accused Iran of trying to develop a nuclear weapon, and in the weeks leading up to Sunday’s agreement, had warned the emerging deal was insufficient.
