The City Council is planning to approve a one-time $75,000 donation to match contributions from Los Angeles County and the city of Los Angeles for The St. Joseph Homeless Services Center in Venice.
The center, one of two on the Westside, serves 3,000 homeless individuals per year — 53 percent of whom come from Santa Monica.
The city of Los Angeles recently committed $100,000, and the county $86,000.
