The Long Beach City Council voted for the state of emergency in order to cut some of the red tape involved in approving contracts and projects to address the homeless crisis..
After seeing a 62 percent increase in the homeless population between 2020 and 2022, the city of Long Beach joins Los Angeles in its state of emergency declaration on homelessness.
Long Beach voters said homelessness was their top issue heading into the 2022 elections, with public safety a top concern. The mayor's plan is one of unification, bringing together the county, local agencies and state and federal support."The city now has the ability to mobilize local resources to up emergency shelters and safe parking sites and coordinate a more streamlined interagency response between the county and other agencies to secure financial and logistical support from our state and federal governments," said Richardson.
