Do LA homeless agencys luxury digs have a view of encampment squalor?

Talk about your ivory tower.The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority — LA’s central homelessness agency — has headquarters in the AON Center on Wilshire Boulevard, The California Post revealed this week.Among the tower’s features: helicopter rides to LAX, Maybach car service, and a luxe gym with an infrared sauna and cold plunge.Wow.So while LAHSA’s homeless “clients” languish in squalid tents, the agency’s brass luxuriate in a skyscraper that caters to the ultra-rich.Perhaps they figured no one would care.

How entitled; how shameless; how arrogant.What’s more, we don’t yet know how many taxpayer dollars have been squandered on this unseemly indulgence: LAHSA so far won’t say, and The Post has filed a Public Records Act request to get answers.Clearly, this is absurd to the point of farce.Karen Bass, Nithya Raman & Co.need to stop shoveling money to agencies and nonprofits that prioritize their own leaders’ perks over reducing homelessness — and start holding these groups to account for abusing taxpayers.It’s not like the latest abuse is a one-off.There’s Carol Adelkoff, the CEO of 1736 Family Crisis Center in LA, who collected more than $1.6 million in pay over the past two years … from the comfort of Hawaii.There’s Albert Senella, CEO of Tarzana Treatment Centers, who collected $2.36 million in salary last year and calls home a palatial $3.7 million, six-bedroom, eight-bathroom spread in Simi Valley.These (and other) homeless agency “leaders” seem to see no irony in their own ultra-luxury lifestyles.
