Those displaced by the City of Los Angeles from staying at the homeless encampment in Little Tokyo will be given a chance to stay at a luxury hotel as a temporary solution.
"Fire and foremost, we have to move folks with a sense of urgency," de León said. "Off the streets. And then there, we have them an interim housing and then we have to find the permanent housing."
The clearance of Toriumi Plaza displaced about 100 people who were staying at the encampment. The L.A. Grand Hotel Downtown is being used to house more than a dozen unhoused people, as of Friday.Tom Beedon, the hotel's general manager, shared his enthusiasm to help those who are unhoused. "Absolutely," Beedom told FOX 11. "We're happy to do that. We're happy to be helping the community, which we're such a big part of."
While it's not a permanent solution – a room at the L.A. Grand Hotel used to cost up to $400 for guests prior to closing.
