Brief

Councilmember Ysabel Jurado, seconded by Eunisses Hernandez, introduced a motion to suspend CARE+ operations in response to environmental emergencies. The motion was referred to both the Energy and Environment Committee and the Housing and Homelessness Committee on June 24, 2026. The file remains pending in both committees with no further activity to date.

Full summary

On June 24, 2026, Councilmember Ysabel Jurado introduced a motion to suspend CARE+ operations due to environmental emergencies, with Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez providing a second. CARE+ is the Cleanup, Abatement, Response, and Enforcement program operated by the Los Angeles Department of Sanitation. The motion was immediately referred to two committees: the Energy and Environment Committee and the Housing and Homelessness Committee. The dual referral suggests the proposal touches on environmental concerns as well as homelessness policy, since CARE+ has connections to the city's services and cleanup efforts. As of the last recorded activity on June 24, 2026, the motion remains pending in both committees with no substantive discussion, amendments, or votes recorded. The file is scheduled to expire on June 24, 2028, giving the committees two years to act. Given the lack of subsequent activity, the proposal has not advanced beyond the initial referral stage.
