Proposed Project: The proposed Homelessness Emergency ordinance (Exhibit B) adds Section 12.82 to the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) for the purpose of more quickly establishing homeless shelters during a shelter crisis. This includes broadening the definition of “shelter for the homeless” to include greater types of facilities and providers as well as better aligning City and State law in order to streamline the process for a Mayoral or City Council declaration of shelter crisis and allow the efficient establishment of temporary homeless emergency shelters in response to that declaration.
