LA City Council calls for a new strategy to tackle homelessness
LA City Councilman Jose Huizar is calling for a committee to devise a strategy for dealing with the region's homeless population. Huizar along with Council President Wesson and councilmen Mike Bonin, Gil Cedillo and Curren Pirce Jr. introduced the measure yesterday.
The proposal follows a report by the City Administrative Office which found the issue is not only a social one but an economic one. Councilman Jose Huizar joined the show to tell us more about it.
