California Today: Los Angeles Tests Housing the Homeless in Its Own Backyard
Original in California Today By Jennifer Medina and Inyoung Kang
The LA Times California Today column recently covered a program that Los Angeles will implement to combat homelessness. It involves paying homeowners to house formerly homeless individuals on their property.
Per the column: “In separate pilot programs, officials are offering subsidies of between $10,000 and $30,000 to homeowners who commit to creating accessory dwelling units — more commonly called “granny flats” — and renting them out to the formerly homeless.”
However, “it is unclear exactly how many units the city will pay for with this round of money, but much of the experiment will focus on just what it will take to convince homeowners that they should rent out their back houses to the homeless.”
