The Pano Groundbreaking
On August 5, 2024, Los Angeles city officials and LA Family Housing celebrated the groundbreaking of “The Pano,” the city’s inaugural Project Homekey renovation, located at 8209 Sepulveda Boulevard in Van Nuys.  This $60 million development involves converting the dilapidated Panorama Motel into 91 permanent supportive housing units for formerly unhoused individuals, with 41 units resulting from the motel’s conversion and an additional 50 units from new construction.  Residents will have access to on-site resources, including case management, transportation assistance, and life skills training, as well as amenities like a community room and outdoor spaces.  The project is expected to be completed by spring 2026, providing much-needed housing and support services to vulnerable populations in the San Fernando Valley.

"The Pano is designed specifically for single adults all who have experienced chronic homelessness and generally live with some other coexisting mental or physical health disorder," said Stephanie Klasky-Gamer, the president and CEO of LA Family Housing.
