In 1888, wealthy landowners donated prime Los Angeles real estate to the U.S. government to house military veterans. The gift “will cause land in that section to advance in value, and the trade thrown into the way of our merchants will be considerable,” wrote the Los Angeles Times. Today the 388-acre property abuts the Brentwood neighborhood and the UCLA campus, is some of the country’s most valuable real estate, and houses very few vets — many in tiny, temporary shelters.
Today, more than 3,800 unhoused veterans live on the streets of LA — the homeless veteran capital of America. Why? The answer is a scandal in plain sight, a story of government malfeasance, neglect, graft, and even death.
Reported across several years and telling the full story of the West LA VA, from the property’s founding to the legal fight to take it back, the team behind “Home of the Brave” explores the crisis of veteran homelessness from all angles. The seven-part, multimedia feature includes a veteran-produced documentary film, transports audiences to this once proud “old people’s paradise,” and chronicles a centuries-spanning land war between the U.S. government, local forces, and generations of vets seeking a place to call home.
