Venice - The Venice Diocese acknowledged Thursday that it is the buyer in a real estate deal forcing the relocation of several elderly and disabled residents from a small downtown apartment complex. The diocese is acquiring the eight-unit property at 500 W. Venice Ave. to expand housing for low-income mothers with infants, it said in a prepared statement.

Residents had received letters on Aug. 6 informing them they had 30 days to move because the buyer of the property wanted it vacant before closing. More...
