Los Angeles Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky speaks during a press conference at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys Monday, Dec. 4, 2023. Mayor Karen Bass is seen at right. LOS ANGELES — The City Council moved forward Friday on plans to begin a “master leasing” program in the city — picking up an approach already in use by LA County to expand the number of available units for unhoused residents.
Yaroslavsky said that — with few interim housing sites for the general unhoused population available in her district — the master-leasing plan could address a big need, and do so swiftly. The city administrative officer will be tasked with identifying funding for the pilot program, as well as for the possible expansion of the program citywide.
In March 2022, the city settled with the LA Alliance for Human Rights, establishing goals for the city to house a minimum of 60% of people living on the streets in each of the 15 council districts. Earlier this month, the alliance filed a legal motion demanding the city face a nearly $6.4 million fine for its alleged lack of transparency and failure to reduce homeless encampments.
