Councilman Joe Buscaino introduced a resolution to ban homeless encampments in 11 areas of his district on Aug. 10. This comes after Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti restored a pre-pandemic restriction of homeless encampments in public areas after the city council approved the ordinance last week; it also gives council members the ability to ban encampments in parts of their districts.
The ordinance is expected to go into effect on Sept. 3. The resolution was seconded by Councilman Paul Koretz.
