Details
on 04 June 2020

 The SPA 6 Homeless Coalition stands in solidarity with the Black community and all parties fighting systemic racism and inequity. South Los Angeles is all too familiar with racial injustice, economic disparities and social inequities.

We share in your pain as our collective wounds are reopened by yet another killing.  The recent killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, and Breonna Taylor are reminders of the history of injustice and legacy of pain inflicted against Black Americans in this country.

Uupdates on response to the coronavirus by Mayor Garcetti and Los Angeles County agencies

Details
on 07 May 2020

Following are important updates on response to the coronavirus by Mayor Garcetti and Los Angeles County agencies, followed by several links to services

MAYOR'S UPDATES

•   State Reopening Guidelines: On Monday, Governor Newsom gave guidance about how counties may take steps forward from the current stay at home orders. The new guidance allows counties and cities to set their own orders based on real-time data of local public health conditions. LA County may have a lower death rate than the national average, but it has suffered more than half of the COVID-19 related deaths in California despite having only about one-quarter of the state’s population. Our timing on opening may differ from other parts of the state; we will follow the guidance of medical professionals. Physical distancing and face coverings will still be a key after opening.

Homelessness in South Los Angeles

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The primary purpose of this paper is to provide a thorough understanding of homelessness in Los Angeles as it pertains to the Eighth City Council District and South Los Angeles more broadly. On January 13, 2016, the City of Los Angeles released a Comprehensive Homeless Strategy detailing over 60 strategies to combat homelessness.
