L.A. Officials Propose Measure To Help Homeless

Last week, five Los Angeles city council members introduced a measure that calls for a comprehensive plan for getting homeless individuals off the streets. The measure follows a report by City Administrative Officer Miguel Santana that found the city spends about $100 million annually on homelessness, including providing mental health and other services.
