LA County will commit $236 million to fund increased services, outreach, and interim housing for the most vulnerable people experiencing homelessness.
business owners and sheltered and unsheltered residents announced a preliminary settlement Monday with the county aimed at providing services for thousands of unhoused people, a pact that would effectively end the L.A. Alliance for Human Rights' often-contentious court battle over the local government response to theUnder the agreement, the county would commit $236 million to fund increased services, outreach and interim housing for the most vulnerable people experiencing homelessness.
The agreement would subject the county to federal court oversight and monitoring under U.S. District Judge David O. Carter for five years. In June, Carter gave final approval to the city's settlement with the L.A. Alliance in which the city will spend up to $3 billion to develop as many as 16,000 beds or housing units for non-mentally ill members of the homeless population.The pact is "fair, reasonable, and adequate," the judge wrote at the time. "The agreement before the court was not achieved in haste -- it was the result of long and deliberate good-faith negotiations.
In its March 2020 lawsuit, L.A. Alliance accused the city and county of failing to do its part in addressing the homelessness crisis. The city's settlement with the coalition was announced in April, but the county refused to participate, saying the city was seeking to force the county to pay for treating thousands of mentally ill homeless people on Skid Row, which is located within the city.
