The City Council approved the settlement of the LA Alliance for Human Rights case on Wednesday. Part of the settlement includes spending up to $3 billion over the next five years to develop as many as 16,000 beds or housing units for the homeless, enough to accommodate 60 percent of the homeless population in each of the 15 City Council districts. The actual number of units will depend on LAHSA’s “point-in-time” countywide homeless count that is still pending.
In District 9, Councilmember Price is leading the charge to have a total of nearly 1,200 beds by this summer.
