The agreement would commit the county to provide 1,000 additional beds for people with mental health issues and substance use disorders.
Months after a judge shot down their first attempt, Los Angeles County officials announced an agreement they hope will finally settle a long-running federal lawsuit over the region’s treatment of homeless people.
“This agreement shows we did and I hope Judge Carter agrees and signs off on this settlement,” said Board of Supervisors Chair Janice Hahn in a statement. “The County is committing to a significant increase in resources and we are happy to put this litigation behind us so we can devote our full attention to helping people and communities that need our assistance.”
The revised agreement specifies that the county would open 610 beds this year, 300 by June 30 and 310 more by Dec. 31. The remaining 390 would be spread over another two years. “At the same time, it’s clear that we need thousands more,” he said. “And so we’re pleased with this progress, but once again, not sure how the court will react.”
