Council President Martinez refuses to take free federal money to shelter the homeless in hotels.
Call her office and demand she #SeizeTheHotels.

Background:
It’s LITERALLY FREE FUCKIN MONEY
Joe Biden allowed FEMA to give federal reimbursements to cities for non-congregate homeless housing to save lives. This allows houseless people to shelter in hotel rooms during the pandemic. As opposed to shelters, which generally place residents in close quarters, non-congregate settings allow additional privacy. The need for non-congregate units is exacerbated by the pandemic. As the LA Times wrote, COVID-19 cases have “overwhelmed” local congregate shelters.
4 people die on average every day experiencing houselessness in Los Angeles.
Council President Nury Martinez refuses to accept FREE MONEY from FEMA to save lives.
