    One Small Step toward Housing the Homeless

    The LA City Council finally came through today on a promise made eight weeks ago to the homeless — declaring a "shelter crisis."

    The LA City Council finally came through today on a promise made eight weeks ago to the homeless — declaring a "shelter crisis." But property owners in Venice are among those angry because of provisions that "decriminalize" homelessness to protect federal funding, and the council still doesn't know where to find $100 million to provide shelters and build new housing.
