The five-member board is set to consider a motion clarifying that county's jails 'will not be used to hold people arrested due to enforcement of anti-camping ordinances' - an approach that is already in effect.
The motion calls for the county to distribute its encampment resolution guidelines, emphasizing a 'care first' approach based on offers of shelter, to cities and other local jurisdictions.
The motion also calls for the newly formed Los Angeles County Executive Committee for Regional Homeless Alignment to work with cities in 'minimizing disparate impact' of the Supreme Court ruling, chaired by Supervisor Kathryn Barger.
Horvath and Solis introduced the motion in response to the June Supreme Court ruling upholding laws from Grants Pass, Ore., criminalizing sleeping in public spaces, emphasizing the need for a coordinated response to the homelessness crisis.
