L. A. City Council Nears Settlement by Providing Housing and Clearing Homeless People Off Streets
The Los Angeles City Council appears to be heading toward a settlement of a federal lawsuit by agreeing to provide new housing or shelter for thousands of homeless people while being able to use anti-camping laws to clear anyone remaining on the streets.
The new beds would be spread across the city, based on the number of homeless people estimated to be living in each City Council district in 2020, and could require every council member to find locations for hundreds of new beds.
