Los Angeles County Shelter Crisis Declaration

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Solis: Find that,

pursuant to Government Code Section 8698 et seq., a significant

number of persons within the County are without the ability to obtain

shelter, which has resulted in a threat to those persons' health and

safety; in accordance with Government Code Section 8698 et seq.,

adopt a resolution declaring that the shelter crisis previously

declared to exist within the County remains in effect for an

additional year, during the period from November 2, 2024 through

November 1, 2025; authorize the Chief Executive Officer to

designate County public facilities for use as homeless shelters

during the period of the declared shelter crisis; find that the

proposed actions are either not subject to, or are exempt from, the

California Environmental Quality Act; and take the following actions:

Find that, as a result of the Board's shelter crisis declaration,

pursuant to Government Code Section 8698.1, any State or

local regulatory statute, regulation, or ordinance prescribing

standards of housing, health, or safety are hereby suspended

for qualifying County public facilities serving as homeless

shelters, to the extent that strict compliance therewith would

prevent, hinder or delay the County's efforts to mitigate the

effects of the shelter crisis, and that the County has, in place

of such standards, enacted alternative minimal health and

safety standards pursuant to Government Code Section

8698.1(b) for qualifying facilities to be operative during the

housing emergency;

Find that, pursuant to Government Code Section 8698.4,

provisions of any housing, health, habitability, planning and

zoning, or safety standards, procedures, or laws are hereby

suspended for County homeless shelters insofar as the

County has adopted the emergency housing provisions in the

Los Angeles County Building Code (LACBC), consistent with

ensuring minimal public health and safety and the

requirements of Government Code Section 8698.4;

Direct the Chief Executive Officer take all appropriate steps

to ensure compliance with the provisions of Government

Code Section 8698.4 including, but not limited to, ensuring
