LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles City Council approved a settlement with the LA Alliance for Human Rights on May 11 in which 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 percent of the homeless population in each of the 15 City Council districts.
“Today, this council voted to formalize our commitment to building more housing as we approved the settlement for the LA Alliance Case. As a city we will continue breaking down housing barriers for unhoused Angelenos and bringing them indoors at rates we’ve never seen before,” Council President Nury Martinez wrote on Twitter after the vote.
