Last evening, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that the city was releasing $75 million in up-front funding to extend Project Roomkey at three city hotels until September. The move will keep 1,200 rooms in the program, 900 of which are currently filled. The other three hundred rooms will be filled “quickly” with prioritization going to people living on Skid Row, Black women, seniors, and people experiencing homelessness in Echo Park. All three hotels had been expected to wind down their participation in the program by the end of the month. The $75 million will be reimbursed by FEMA.
That action was seen as a good first step by members of the City Council Homelessness and Poverty Committee, who met earlier today and moved a motion by Councilmembers Nithya Raman and Mike Bonin. The motion calls for the city to rapidly expand Project Roomkey both in duration and in number of rooms offered, after a federal promise to reimburse costs for the program through next September.
