When a city has a shortage of shelter beds, homeless people are forced to sleep outside. Why should they be punished for that?
A protest in Chatsworth against a homeless housing project shows that voters are fine spending tax money on these items, but just not near their homes.
The L.A. City Council has voted to move forward with an effort to stop landlords from quickly evicting tenants or raising rent before a new state rental law takes effect.
Dozens of new apartments for homeless people could rise in Chatsworth after the Los Angeles City Council voted Tuesday to fund a rare proposal to build such housing in the northwest San Fernando Valley.
