Interim housing options for people experiencing homelessness will be available during this weekend’s severe weather via motel vouchers offered by programs offered by the city and county of Los Angeles.
According to LAHSA, the program is intended to provide additional interim housing options to people experiencing homelessness during the severe weather which is expected to bring rain and possible thunder Saturday and Sunday. The agency previously activated the program Jan. 29 through Feb. 13, bringing nearly 1,000 people inside during a powerful storm event.
The 2023-24 Winter Shelter Program began on November 1, 2023, and was expected to end on March 31 before being extended due to this weekend’s forecast.
