- Today’s removal of LA’s Homeless-In-Hotels measure from the March 2024 ballot is a victory for the City of Los Angeles and its hospitality community as it prevents hotels from becoming homeless shelters and protects hotel employees who would have become the first line of care.
- With sponsor UniteHere Local 11 officially pulling its dangerous measure from the ballot shortly after the Los Angeles City Council’s final approval of a compromise ordinance, the city and its hospitality community can begin repairing the reputational and financial harm already caused by the proposed initiative.
- “This solution ensures that our hotel community is thriving and able to continue providing excellent careers and economic benefits to our iconic neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles,” said Heather Rozman, President and CEO of the Hotel Association of Los Angeles.
- “We thank the LA City Council for helping to broker a compromise to get the Homeless-In-Hotels measure off the ballot.”
