Los Angeles has finally discovered the panacea that will cure the city’s crippling homeless problem: paying property owners to build guest houses in their backyards.
According to Los Angeles Times, the county Board of Supervisors approved back in August a “$550,000 pilot program to build a handful of small backyard houses, or upgrade illegally converted garages, for homeowners who agree to host a homeless person or family.”
“Rents under the county’s pilot program would be covered by low-income vouchers, with tenants contributing 30% of their incomes,” reports the Times. “The county is also sponsoring a design competition, streamlining permits and providing technical aid and financing options.”
