LOS ANGELES, CA — Everyone wants to solve LA's homeless crisis, but few want to see shelters or low-income housing constructed in their neighborhoods. So City Councilman Bob Blumenfield is looking for a way to turn the"not in my backyard" sentiment on its head.
A citywide program to fund the construction of granny flats to house formerly homeless Angelenos could be enough to get homeowners lining up to invite people experiencing homelessness into their backyards, he hopes. Blumenfield this week proposed exploring the creation of a citywide granny flat financing program. The proposal piggybacks on other efforts to make it easier to construct backyard units to help ease the affordable housing crisis.
