You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.227.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 11:46, 23 November 2025. Your current IP address is 34.227.114.28.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center''' is among a network of housing, shelter, utilities, food preparation facilities and a hospital mandated to permanently serve veterans at the '''West Los Angeles VA Soldiers Home'''. The approximately 400 remaining acres of the Soldiers Home is located adjacent to the West Los Angeles, Westwood and Brentwood neighborhoods of Los Angeles, has its own ZIP code and accounts for most of the over $1,100,000,000 Greater Los Angeles VA Healthcare System's annual federal budget. Operated by the [[Veterans Health Administration]], the West Los Angeles VA Soldiers Home is the first U.S. government facility for [[homeless veterans in the United States|homeless Veterans]] and the only one it permanently maintains in public trust to house them.

==History==
The medical facility, which sits on land donated by [[Arcadia Bandini de Stearns Baker]] in 1887,<ref name="Npr-rental-millions">((cite web|last1=Jaffe|first1=Ina|title=Los Angeles VA Has Made Millions On Rental Deals|url=https://www.npr.org/2012/09/10/160736598/los-angeles-va-has-made-millions-on-rental-deals|access-date=2 May 2016|work=[[NPR News]]|department=[[Morning Edition]]))</ref> was previously known as the [[Sawtelle Veterans Home]]. This became the Wadsworth Hospital in 1927 and was rebuilt in 1977 into the present modern building.

In 2011 a group of homeless veterans sued the center, claiming that the VA was renting land in the center for commercial gain and ignoring the needs of homeless veterans for housing.<ref name="Npr-rental-millions" /><ref name="LATimes-masterplan">((cite web|title=Draft master plan is unveiled for long-neglected VA campus in West L.A.|url=http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-draft-master-plan-unveiled-for-long-neglected-veteran-s-campus-in-west-los-angeles-20151016-story.html|website=L.A. Times|accessdate=2 May 2016))</ref> In 2015, as part of the settlement of the 2011 lawsuit,<ref name="LATimes-suit-settled">((cite web|title=U.S. settles suit over misuse of West L.A. veterans campus|url=http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-veterans-settle-campus-20150127-story.html|website=L.A. Times|accessdate=2 May 2016))</ref> the Department of Veterans Affairs released a draft master plan for the future of the campus.<ref name="LATimes-masterplan" />

In 2016, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced a plan to add 1,200 units of housing for homeless veterans to the hospital campus.<ref name="Homeless-housing">((cite web|title=1,200 housing units for homeless veterans planned at West LA's VA Medical Center, UCLA baseball stadium to remain on property|url=http://www.dailynews.com/veterans/20160128/1200-housing-units-for-homeless-veterans-planned-at-west-las-va-medical-center-ucla-baseball-stadium-to-remain-on-property|website=Los Angeles Daily news|accessdate=2 May 2016))</ref>

This station will be located north of the hospital between Bonsall Ave., [[Wilshire Boulevard|Wilshire Blvd.]] and [[Interstate 405 (California)|I-405]]. The station will open in 2027 as part of Phase 3 of the extension, along with [[Westwood/UCLA station|Westwood/UCLA]] station.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://media.metro.net/projects_studies/westside/images/factsheet_sec3stations_2019.pdf|title=Purple Line Extension Transit Project - Section 3 Fact Sheet – Station Locations|last=|first=|date=Winter 2019|website=Metro Los Angeles|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=29 February 2020))</ref>
