What this means
The Committee voted to keep and fund a temporary shelter and service center at 7253 Melrose Avenue for up to five more years; a low-barrier navigation center is a place that offers temporary shelter and services with few entry requirements. The Committee also approved funding steps to keep homeless services operating (including a cash-flow loan to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority) and approved a transfer to pay relocation benefits for tenants from an unsafe building so they do not become homeless. Several quarterly oversight reports on homelessness and Prop HHH housing funds were filed for the record, meaning the Committee reviewed but did not change those reports.
