$15 billion recommended for L.A. homeless modbee/ap ^ \| 4-7-06 \| bob jablon LOS ANGELES (AP) - The vast homelessness problem in Los Angeles County can be solved in a decade by spending up to $15 billion on affordable housing and other preventative services, officials said Thursday after a three-year study. A public-private panel made more than 200 recommendations to tackle a problem estimated to involve over 220,000 people cycling through homelessness each year. "This is an investment, make no mistake," said Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. "We will not be the city with the ignominious distinction of being the homeless capital of America." The report called for building at least 11,500 units of affordable housing for the homeless, with an eventual goal of 50,000 units. modbee.com
