The city of Los Angeles and LA County must find shelter for thousands of homeless people who are living near freeways, a federal judge ordered, saying their health is at risk from pollution, earthquakes and the coronavirus.

U.S. District Court Judge David O. Carter issued a preliminary injunction requiring relocation of an estimated 6,000 to 7,000 people camping near freeway ramps and under overpasses and bridges. He gave officials one week — until May 22 — to come up with a plan for providing “humane” housing.

Carter said alternatives to shelters could include “safe parking sites” to camp or hotel and motel rooms that the county is renting under Project Roomkey, a state program established during the pandemic to get thousands of homeless off the streets temporarily to avoid transmission of COVID-19. The lawsuit, filed in March, asked the judge to set a “legally enforceable mandate” to establish homeless services and enough beds for anyone who needs one on any given night.risks, blocked sidewalks, untreated mental illness and addiction, environmental hazards and increased crime, according to the filing.

Project Roomkey was created in April by Gov. Gavin Newsom and uses mainly federal money to acquire hotel and motel rooms for the homeless to shield them from the virus. Los Angeles County has by far the largest number of homeless in California — about 60,000 — and officials there set a goal of obtaining 15,000 rooms through the program.

Plenty of mansions and beach houses, put them there. The health risk has been there for quite some time now, years.

why when this has been going on for many years, It's worse now and they found the alcoholics and drug addicts and mentally ill will not go in shelters, They never cared about the health risk and the diseases they spread. Poop and pee is the worst it goes to the ocean.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

The community has always been at risk of the first 2, funny it took the last one to make him notice? Is 3 the threshold? Well, actual healthcare makes 4. M4A

Well you know here is the Bay Area the homeless are not only getting put up in fancy hotels, they are getting their alcohol & drugs delivered right to them for free. Free room at a fancy hotel,free meals,free housekeeping, free alcohol. I know many people who would love that😃👍

Uhhh . . . Isn't everyone in California at risk from 'pollution, earthquakes.'

OH now we have to help these people? Where was your outcry weeks, months, years ago when these people were living on the streets?

They will get sick of losing their piles of trash every time they get arrested. Put the mentally ill in institutions

Arrest the ones who break the law. Every time they shoot up, poop or pee on the street, litter etc. they don’t get to be put up in confiscated hotels.

But they weren’t at risk of anything prior to covid? 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

That federal judge needs to quit drinking or shooting up dope. No sober Person would make such a stupid statement. LOL, I am ashamed of myself for laughing at a person stoned out of his mind, the poor guy needs help!

20 years late for the dance. Good coverage, abc. Where have you been?

Judge Harumph has ordered all poor people to move into nursing homes because if they live near freeways they might catch the coronavirus.

😂🤣😂🤣

Упс, а не только у нас проблемы. Почему эмигранты-русофобы не обсуждают их?

Blue states are so wonderful!

So they were cool with just pollution and earthquakes?

Blue States😂😂

Way to go judge.

Just direct them to the judges front lawn!! You need a plan !!

Why is everyone expecting celebrities to do something about this Why is it their issue

The amount of hostility towards people with much less than anyone with access to this platform is disgusting. This lack of empathy and solidarity exemplifies the state of the US experiment.

Get ready Americans, NYC is sending out greyhound buses full of shelter people daily. Los Angeles will do the same, shifting democratsaredestroyingAmerica policies for the rest of the country to pay for.

I have the perfect place. Commandeer this hotel and let them loose. I'm sure the SJW celebrities wouldn't object as they aspire to help their fellow man.

Put them on Alcatraz island.

Hollywood types love to prattle on about how caring and supportive they are...we shall see if they offer anything more than their usual empty words...I won't be holding my breath

Alyssa_Milano cher BetteMidler they're calling on you to help.

Where to? Los Angeles? They still can’t force them to go, so the majority will stay where they are. But the won’t let the officers enforce the law. You’ve been distributing needles to them and letting them shit in the street AND now you worry?!?
