All homeless people on Los Angeles’ Skid Row must be offered housing by the fall, judge orders

All homeless people living on Los Angeles’ Skid Row must be offered housing by October 18, a federal judge ordered Tuesday. The order comes in response to a federal lawsuit filed last year by several citizens, business owners, and community leaders who argue officials have failed to address the homeless crisis in Los Angeles, as tents line full city blocks and makeshift shelters cramp under street overpasses.
