What the Council asked city departments to do
Los Angeles ordered a review of algorithmic rent-setting and asked for a plan to house people living in encampments ahead of the 2028 Games. Council also voted to rename the Slauson Connect Center after Curren D. Price Jr.
The key distinction
The rent software vote directs staff to develop policy options. A registry, fees or restrictions would require further Council action.
Rent software and tenant notices
Rent software and tenant notices in the record
The report will consider notifying prospective and current tenants when automated tools influence rents, renewals or occupancy decisions. It will also assess fair housing risks and possible uses for revenue, including eviction prevention and tenant legal services.
Olympic outreach and housing
Olympic outreach and housing in the record
The plan is to cover the timing and costs of outreach, interim and permanent placements, and possible funding. The Council also asked the county to activate additional capacity for people who need mental health, substance use or recuperative care beds.
The final Slauson vote
