Los Angeles Voters Back Right To Shelter For Homeless People

More than 70% of Los Angeles County voters broadly support a legal right to shelter for all: 76% back a "right to shelter" initiative, and 72% support a "right to housing" initiative. However, just 22% of these same voters support using taxes to pay for building units specifically for homeless individuals. While 63% of voters support a tax increase to create permanent City and County initiatives to help homeless individuals and reduce the homeless population, a total of 41% of voters oppose a tax to create permanent city and county initiatives to help homeless individuals and reduce the homeless population . . .
