L.A. city officials and homeless advocates reach settlement in long-running lawsuit over how to handle the homeless crisis.
L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti and other city leaders held a news conference to announce that the city will spend 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% of the homeless population in each of L.A.'s 15 city council districts.
"Today, we're gonna stay angry about too many Angelenos being on the streets," Garcetti said."This fire that is raging across L.A. It is time to extinguish it once and for all. These blazes burn on every block, on every neighborhood in L.A." The actual number of housing units and beds the city will be required to build under the settlement remains uncertain, pending the results of the recently conducted"point-in-time" countywide homeless count. According to the most recent homeless count, conducted prior to the pandemic in 2020, L.A. County's homeless population was 66,433, a nearly 13.% increase from the previous year.
L.A. County officials say that since the passage of Measure H in 2017, the county has provided housing for 75,000 people experiencing homelessness, and shelter capacity has increased by 60% over the past three years.
