We are asking for your help. We are raising funds to support a possible legal effort to oppose Fred Brown LLC building a residential and outpatient treatment facility at 2100 Western Avenue, formerly Little Sisters Of The Poor. This will affect all of San Pedro. It will be an unlocked facility where they can come and go as they please. It will place a burden on our services for LAPD and LAFD, and possibly lengthen the time it takes to respond to calls in community.

According to official State of California award records, on March 11, 2026, this project was awarded $73,400,878.62 in taxpayer funding through Proposition 1 (California 2024 mental health bond), a statewide initiative to expand behavioral health and substance use treatment infrastructure, with a projected completion date of March 2030.

The proposed change would convert the site into a large-scale residential and outpatient treatment facility, including:

- 106 residential treatment beds (Substance Use Disorder)

- 900 outpatient treatment capacity (SUD services)

- 88 office-based opioid treatment (OBOT) patients

- 24 partial hospitalization program (PHP) outpatient slots

- 16 peer respite residential beds

(The above figures were published by the California Department of Health Care Services)

The surrounding area includes South Shores Elementary School, White Point Elementary School, Dana Middle School, Olguin High School, and San Pedro High School. San Pedro already accommodates a significant number of residential treatment beds relative to surrounding communities, raising concerns about concentration and neighborhood balance.
