New homeless-panel chair De Leon vows LA City Council will ‘step up’
“’Our dreams of civic pride, housing affordability and clean and safe streets will not come true on their own. We’ll have to work hard, and we’ll have to work together, to lead L.A. out of this crisis. As long as I am chair of this committee, we will not accept a status quo that lets our unsheltered neighbors die on our streets or allows women and children to languish on our streets at night.
‘We will step up, and we will lean into this crisis with urgency.’
Soon after entering the council, de Leon launched his ‘A Way Home’ initiative aimed at creating 25,000 new homeless housing units by 2025.”
