A federal judge ruled against placing Los Angeles' homelessness programs in receivership, emphasizing that this should only be a last resort. Judge David O. Carter found the city failed to meet critical obligations of a settlement agreement concerning homeless housing. Although he did not declare a total breach, he mandated the selection of a third-party monitor to ensure compliance. He also noted potential financial implications for the city regarding legal fees owed to advocacy groups involved in the case, indicating that consequences for non-compliance are forthcoming.
At the same time, Carter found that the city breached the terms of a settlement agreement with the nonprofit LA Alliance for Human Rights, which calls for the creation of 12,915 homeless beds or other housing opportunities by June 2027.
Carter also signaled that he would likely order the city to pay the legal fees of both the alliance and homeless advocacy groups that have intervened in the case.
