After years of significant increases-12 to 17%- in the region's homeless population, this year's count revealed relatively stabilized numbers, with a 1.7% increase in the City of Los Angeles between 2020 and 2022. The trends, however, are not consistent across Council districts. These drastic differences between the districts raise concerns as to whether low-income and communities of color are bearing more than their fair share. While homelessness decreased in certain districts, it has increased significantly in others- trends that do not necessarily follow the level of investments each district has made in their communities. Furthermore, the changes within each district do not provide a full picture either. Many communities in the city have consistently built new interim and permanent housing units in the past two years. Yet, the PIT count results do not reflect those investments and instead show an increase in their sheltered and/or unsheltered populations. Such inconsistencies necessitate further examination. The residents of the City of Los Angeles deserve full transparency, and the City must continuously assess the effectiveness of its various interventions in order to inform its future course of action . I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the City Administrative Officer (CAO), Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and Housing Department to report back on placements in interim and permanent/affordable housing solutions (newly built and existing units/beds) between the 2020 and 2022 PIT counts in each Council District, including a breakdown of the originating Council District of the residents in aggregate. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the CAO to report back on intervention strategies implemented by each Council District in the past five years, including the number of new shelter beds and housing units, encampment-to-homes operations, and funding allocations, and to include an analysis of the correlation between those interventions and the results of the 2022 PIT count.

In 2015, the decision was made to conduct the count on an annual basis. However, due to the interruption caused by the pandemic, the count was placed on hold following the 2020 PIT Nearly two years after the start of the pandemic, LAHSA conducted its 2022 homelessness point-in-time (PIT) count between February 22 and 24, and released its results ear1ier this month. City and County leaders have consistently relied on the results of the PIT count to develop their strategy in addressing homelessness and to assess their progress. Yet, since its inception, there has been no formal reevaluation of the methodology. While the data is useful in gaining a general understanding of the homeless trends across years, it is unclear whether the current approach is most effective and accurate. In order to better inform the decisions of policy makers and contextualize the changes, it is necessary that the Council consider the strengths and weaknesses of the current PIT count method and ways to improve it. Without comparative analysis of past and future counts, the City is missing an opportunity to gain a full picture of the homeless landscape specific to Los Angeles and create a more detailed and effective response strategy Additionally, by working with a third-party to conduct upcoming point-in-time counts, the Council can ensure that there is consistency and detailed comparison to PIT counts in years past. I THEREFORE MOVE that the City Council instruct the City Administrative Officer (CAO}, with the assistance of other relevant departments, to report with options on conducting a third-party point-in-time count of the City's homeless population. I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council instruct the CAO, with the assistance of other departments, to report with options to conduct a multi-year audit of LAHSA's past annual point-in-time counts, as well as other means to evaluate the effectiveness of the PlT count, including an evaluation of the methodology and potential changes, type of information corrected, and frequency_ SEP 2 O 2022,  R E s 0 L liT I 0 ULESI ELECTIONS &INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS \\'BEREAS, existing state lav.." outlines the Reproducti1;e Prirncy Act,. which declares that eYeryone has a fundamental right to privacy, which includes the right to contraception and abortion up to the point of \-iability, unless carrying to term poses a risk to the health of the pregnant person; and \\'HEREAS, the California Supreme Court has interpreted the right to prii;acy in the state constitution to co.-er a right to abortion:; and \\'HEREAS, Proposition 1 would amend the California Constitution to establish a right to reproducti.-e freedom, which is defmed to include a right to an abortion and to choose or refuse contraceptives; and \'\'"BEREAS, starting in 2022, abortion was legal up to the point of viability and legal after .-iability only if the patient's life or health is endangered~ and \\'HEREAS, viability is currently defined as the point in gestation \vhen a fetus can survive outside the womb; and WHEREAS, currently no state has codified a woman's right to choose to haYe an abortion or has declared that individuals ha.-e a fundamental right to use or refuse contracepfr;;es; and \\'HEREASt since the Supreme Court decision Dobbs vs Jackson's Women Health Organization, the Los Angeles City Council has led in effons to protect the reproductive rights of ,...-omen and has introduced various motions to make sure ·women in Los Angeles and across the nation continue to have access to reprbducti,-e rights~ and \VHEREAS, Los Angeles has been at the forefront of reproductive rights support, both at the City and the State le,-et and ~O\Y, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, \Yith the concw-rence of the Mayor, that by adoption of this Resolution, the City of Los Angeles hereby includes in its 202?-2023 State Legislative Program SUPPORT for Proposition 1, \'\:h.ich 'vould amend the California Constitution to establish a right to reproductive freedom, including a right t.o abortion, among other protections. _ / ' Councilwoman, 6th District Councilmember, 13th District f ~ HEATHERHL!T Councilwoman, 10th District  TRANSPORTATION RESOLUTION WHEREAS, California Vehicle Code Section 22507 authorizes cities to restrict the parking of vehicles, including but not limited to, vehicles that are six feet or more in height, on identified City streets during certain hours; and WHEREAS, the Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 80.69.4 allows the Council to authorize by resolution, the streets upon which the parking qf oversize vehicles shall be restricted between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.; and WHEREAS, there are public safety issues along a residential street segment where large vehicles are often parked overnight and constrict travel lanes, thereby creating hazardous conditions; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council, pursuant to the Municipal Code Section 80.69.4, and the California Vehicle Code Section 22507, hereby prohibits the parking of vehicles that are in excess of22 feet in length or over 7 feet in height, during the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., along both sides of West 6th Street between South Wilton Place and South Irving Boulevard.
