LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council voted May 9 to approve a report calling for the appropriation of funding, staffing, and other resources to expand street medicine teams and services at all city-funded interim housing sites.

The council directed its city administrative officer to report back within 30 days with recommendations that would increase the teams and enable them to provide medical, mental, and behavioral health services.
