HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS NEAR SCHOOLS AND DAYCARE CENTERS

The Los Angeles City Council voted to prohibit homeless encampments from setting up within 500 feet of all schools and daycare centers in the City. Every public and private school, not just the few dozen selected by the council over the last year, will be covered under the new restriction. This came about at the urging of Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent, Alberto Carvalho and the Council needing to provide safe walkways for students while making sidewalks compliant with ADA regulations. The second consideration will take place next week. To read the motion, click here.
