New Directions, an organization that provides comprehensive services to Veterans in L.A. County, has proposed to convert seven acres and two empty buildings on the 160- acre Veteran's Administration facility in North Hills into 147 housing units for homeless and disabled veterans.

The PRNC heard presentations by various groups in support of and opposed to the project in November 2009, January 2010, and in February 2010, when  they ultimately passed a motion that the PRNC draft a letter to the VA asking the VA to rescind the Enhanced Use Leases with New Directions, et al and recommission Buildings 4 and 5 for medical purposes at the 160-acre Veteran's Administration facility in North Hills.
