The city of La Verne’s Las Flores Park south-end playground is one of nine parks competing for a $75,000 grant by the Niagara Cares and the National Recreation and Park Association Perk Your Park program.
National CORE, a nonprofit affordable housing developer, is leading a permanent supportive housing project, 740 Foothill Community, in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County between the cities of San Dimas and La Verne. Both cities are opposed to the project.
