City Council unanimously approves motion to create an LA City Department of Homelessness
Los Angeles, CA - On Tuesday, April 30, 2024, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez’s motion proposing the creation of a Department of Homelessness in an effort to address homelessness to bring accountability, transparency, dismantling organizational silos, and improve service delivery.
“As Los Angeles continues to grapple with the growing numbers of homeless individuals, we’ve seen repeated headlines reflecting millions of dollars unaccounted for born out of programs being managed by political offices or across multiple departments. Tens of thousands of people living on our streets, in cars and RVs, it is time to create a centralized department with a singular focus that maximizes tax payer dollars. Working with urgency shouldn’t equate to an abandonment of transparency, we must stretch our resources to aid the most people out of homelessness and clean up our city for Angelenos and business owners that are suffering with the consequences of our current environment.." says Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez.
