Brief

Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky introduced a motion to establish uniform tracking systems and protocols for city-directed encampment engagements, dedicated homeless services, interim housing programs, and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). The motion aimed to coordinate street engagement strategy across multiple city departments. Referred to Housing and Homelessness, Public Safety, and Public Works committees in June 2024, the file received community impact statements from multiple neighborhood councils but ultimately expired in July 2026 without council adoption.

Full summary

Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky's motion, seconded by Marqueece Harris-Dawson, sought to establish coordinated tracking and management systems for Los Angeles' homeless services and encampment response operations. The underlying proposal addressed multiple interconnected systems: a uniform tracking mechanism for city-directed encampment engagements; dedicated services protocols; interim housing coordination; and improvements to the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), which serves as the primary data repository for homeless services citywide. The motion also directed attention to street engagement strategy, suggesting a need to standardize and measure how city field teams interact with unsheltered populations. Upon introduction on June 4, 2024, the motion was referred simultaneously to three committees: Housing and Homelessness, Public Safety, and Public Works. This multi-committee referral reflects the cross-departmental nature of homeless services implementation — involving social services, police coordination, and municipal infrastructure. Between June and October 2024, the file attracted community input from neighborhood councils across the city, including North Hollywood Northeast, Venice, West LA-Sawtelle, Bel Air-Beverly Crest, North Westwood, Arleta, Sunland-Tujunga, Del Rey, and Mar Vista. However, no committee action or council floor vote is recorded in the available activity log. The file expired on July 16, 2026, per Council policy No. 05-0553, which sets a two-year sunset for motions that do not advance through the legislative process. The absence of reported committee meetings or amendments suggests the proposal stalled in committee without reaching the full council for consideration.
