LOS ANGELES (February 24, 2021) Today, the Los Angeles City Council approved a motion that instructs city agencies to provide a report about city-owned properties that can be used for temporary or permanent homeless housing. Housing Is A Human Right (HHR) applauds the council’s action, and we urge L.A. elected leaders to swiftly provide more housing for the vulnerable.
“We thank L.A. Councilmember Kevin de León for his leadership in sponsoring the motion,” said
Susie Shannon, Policy Director of Housing Is A Human Right. “We’re pleased to see the City Council approve the homeless housing report it’s been long overdue. The City Council and Mayor Eric Garcetti must now ensure that the report is completed quickly and then produce housing with urgency. More than 1,300 unhoused people died last year in L.A. County. Lives hang in the balance, especially as the pandemic continues.”

Children exposed to air pollution, such as wildfire smoke and car exhaust, for as little as one day may be doomed to higher rates of heart disease and other ailments in adulthood, according to a new Stanford-led study. The analysis, published in Nature
Scientific Reports, is the first of its kind to investigate air pollution s effects at the single cell level and to simultaneously focus on both the cardiovascular and immune systems in children. It confirms previous research that bad air can alter gene regulation in a way that may impact long-term health - a finding that could change the way medical experts and parents think about the air children breathe, and inform clinical interventions for those exposed to chronic elevated air pollution.
