The motion singles out downtown’s Skid Row and two areas in Highland Park as requiring urgent action.
A man walks through Skid Row just down the street from where Judge David Carter was holding a hearing at the Downtown Women’s Center addressing the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles on Thursday, February 4, 2021. On Monday, Sept. 12, 2022, LA County announced it settled the lawsuit with the LA Alliance for Human Rights. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Wednesday Feb.
A March 4 hearing is set to discuss the motion filed last week in federal court by the L.A. Alliance for Human Rights. The motion alleges that the city has violated a 2022 settlement agreement between the association and the city calling for the housing of a minimum of 60% of people living on the streets in each of the city’s 15 council districts.
L.A. Alliance attorneys say the city “obstructed efforts to establish critical encampment milestones and created far fewer beds than it promised to.” For 14 months, L.A. Alliance lawyers maintain, the city “has stalled, made excuses, and waffled in committing to encampment resolution metrics.” U.S. District Judge David Carter, who is presiding over the case and signed off on the city’s settlement two years ago and the county’s pact with the L.A. Alliance last year, scheduled the hearing next month to discuss the motion.
