L.A. City Councilman Joe Buscaino is calling on his colleagues to prohibit tents from going up within 500 feet of any public school in the city.
The report could help Councilman Mike Bonin quell an uproar in parts of his district, who had come out against the idea of homeless facilities at those locations.
“Our team’s focus, both in this area of Hollywood and throughout the 13th District, will continue to be on outreaching to people experiencing homelessness and effectively connecting them to housing and resources,” he said.Buscaino’s proposal is part of a lengthy tug of war at City Hall over how far, and how fast, to enforce the city’s anti-camping law.
Buscaino has already proposed that the ordinance be used to prohibit encampments around homeless shelters in his district, which stretches from Watts to San Pedro. But other council members have taken steps to limit enforcement even more. Council members Mark Ridley-Thomas, Nithya Raman and Kevin de León voted in favor of that strategy, which still needs approval from the full council.In a rare extended interview on homelessness, Gov. Gavin Newsom applauded the removal of homeless camps from Echo Park Lake and Venice Beach in Los Angeles, staking out a position that reflects a change in the political dialogue about homelessness in California.
