BREAKING: The Long Beach City Council approved an emergency declaration on homelessness.
"Today's unanimous action by the board honors the November mandate from L.A. County voters: lead with urgency and transparency to address the homelessness crisis in every neighborhood," Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath said in a statement following the vote.
The motion noted,"Proclaiming a local emergency to address this critical crisis will provide the county with additional tools to accelerate and expand its response through the Homeless Initiative and in collaboration with our city partners.
The motion calls for a report back in six months on the effectiveness of the effort, and a decision in a year on whether to extend the emergency declaration."The people of Los Angeles deserve that we urgently and immediately take every possible action to bring unhoused Angelenos indoors, and this declaration will enable us to move faster and unlock every tool possible," Bass said.
The last time a mayor declared a local emergency related to homelessness was in 1987, when Mayor Tom Bradley cited the effect of winter weather on people experiencing homelessness, according to the declaration. The conditions now, the declaration claimed, are"even more dire."
