LOS ANGELES (CNS) - The Los Angeles Business Council, which represents 500 L.A. businesses and civic leaders, called on Mayor Eric Garcetti and the City Council today to pursue obtaining 15,000 hotel rooms to house unsheltered people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
LABC, which is hosting its annual Mayoral Housing, Transportation and Jobs Summit Thursday, said that the city should take advantage of the federal government s commitment to reimburse 100% of the costs of hotel and motel rooms to house homeless people through September.
“Opportunities like this don t come along often. We must take full advantage of it, the LABC said in a letter to Garcetti. “Thus, we urge you to act fast to explore options for renting vastly more hotel and motel rooms and bringing our unhoused Angelenos safely indoors.
