Councilmember Mike Bonin's motion for opening homeless encampments at several locations, including the beach and parks, will be heard. Communities across the southland are rallying to have their voices heard on this important issue that affects everyone in Los Angeles.

Dear Mayor and Councilmembers:
I urge you to make every effort to clean up homeless encampments and enforce existing laws to protect the safety of neighborhoods around Los Angeles and the residents of those sites. I support the BHA resolution below:
BHA Homelessness Motions
A. Abate and Correct Unsafe and Unhealthy Conditions in Homeless Encampments
The Brentwood Homeowners Association calls on the Los Angeles City Council and Mayor Eric Garcetti to immediately direct the Los Angeles City Bureau of Sanitation (“LA Sanitation”) to undertake site clean-ups, trash collection, and sanitizing of all homeless encampments located in the neighborhoods on the Westside of Los Angeles, in order to abate, correct, and remove hazardous, unsafe, unhealthy, and unsanitary conditions, including without limitation all combustible materials such as propane tanks, at all homeless encampments forthwith.
B. Enforcement of Crimes in or Near Homeless Encampments
The Brentwood Homeowners Association calls on the Los Angeles City Council and Mayor Eric Garcetti to direct the Los Angeles Police Department and other relevant law enforcement agencies to enforce all existing, enforceable laws prohibiting the sale and distribution of illegal drugs, human trafficking, and other serious crimes taking place in or near homeless encampments on the Westside of Los Angeles.
C. Enforce Laws Prohibiting Blockage of Public Right of Way
The Brentwood Homeowners Association calls on the Los Angeles City Council and Mayor Eric Garcetti to direct the Los Angeles Police Department and the Department of Public Works’ Bureau of Engineering Street Services Division, as well as the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and the Department of Veterans Affairs to direct the Veterans Affairs Police Department and other relevant law enforcement agencies to enforce all existing, enforceable laws prohibiting the blockage of the public right of way on the Westside of Los Angeles, including all applicable provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).
D. Increase Funding to Support Additional Safe Parking Programs
The Brentwood Homeowners Association calls for additional funding and resources, from all available sources, in order to implement more Safe Parking Programs and to support existing, reputable safe parking programs, including those operated by organizations such as Safe Parking LA, throughout the Westside of Los Angeles.
