Mayor ToddGloria to unveil Tenant Protection Ordinance to combat out-of-control homeless crisis. Gloria believes the crisis is growing because people become homeless 'faster than we can get people housed.'
The ordinance took input from tenants rights advocates and the Southern California Rental Housing Association and will bring the city’s laws up to those set by Assembly Bill 1482 — in some cases surpassing it, the mayor and council president said.
The draft ordinance — which will be heard at the April 25 City Council meeting — would apply protections from day one of a lease with exemptions for short-term leases, offer financial assistance when a tenant’s lease is terminated through no fault of their own and have accountability measures to punish those violating tenant protections.
“This report shows our region has reached a sobering milestone: March 2023 marks one year since we’ve had a month where more people were housed than experienced homelessness for the first time,” Regional Task Force on Homelessness CEO Tamera Kohler said when the task force’s monthly report came out Monday.
