L.A. is ready to open 30 homeless shelters, but the county doesn't want to pay for them
The nine shelters that have opened so far have a combined 519 beds. If all 30 shelters are completed, the city of L.A. will add more than 2,300 bedsFour of those shelters are downtown in Councilman Jose Huizar’s district. Councilman David E. Ryu’s district will also have four, two in Los Feliz and two in Hollywood,
The remaining shelters will be in Canoga Park, Van Nuys, Sylmar, Pico-Robertson and Chesterfield Square.worked out three years ago, as the City Council placed Proposition HHH, a $1.2-billion bond measure for homeless housing, on the ballot and the county Board of Supervisors followed by putting Measure H on the ballot.
In an interview Friday, Ridley-Thomas downplayed the rift, saying the city and county are “in what can be described as unprecedented in terms of the relationship of collaboration.” “There are 88 cities in the county of Los Angeles,” Ridley-Thomas said. “We have an obligation to deal with the homeless crisis throughout those cities. We are seeking to be as attentive to those requests and concerns as possible.”This latest back-and-forth comes as pressure on L.A.'s shelter system increases with the arrival of winter weather.
