If passed, Homekey would require hotels in the city to report vacancies. From there they would offer the vacant rooms to the homeless who have a voucher from the city. Nightly, more than 20,000 hotel rooms in the county are left empty.<\/p>\n<p>Many people are skeptical of this idea. They worry about how guests would react to sharing their hotels with non-paying guests. Those in favor of the bill claim that it will primarily benefit seniors, students and working people despite concerns that they will be unable to screen dangerous voucher recipients.<\/p>\n<p>Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in early 2020, the city saw a 16.1% increase of people living on the streets compared to the years prior. Currently, there are more than 60,000 homeless people living in Los Angeles County. This year, the number of homeless seniors has been on the rise.<\/p>\n<p>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/senators-call-on-fbi-to-answer-for-undermining-biden-family-investigation\/\">Senators Call On FBI To Answer For Undermining Biden Family Investigation<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man walks past tents housing the homeless on the streets in the Skid Row community of Los Angeles, California on April 26, 2021.
