More migrant families with children sleeping in tents on Skid Row test official response

Just over a month after a Times report on migrant families with children living on Skid Row prompted authorities to rush several families into a motel, a more extensive community has formed on Towne Avenue, with at least seven new families, with at least 10 children, living in an array of large tents, pup tents, and tarp shelters.

Officials told the supervisors there has been a 45% increase in the number of families in the homeless system compared with last year.
