The LA Olympics is expected to displace unhoused people living around venues. So what's the plan?
The 2028 LA Olympics may displace hundreds of unhoused people near venues due to security perimeters, but no relocation plan or funding exists. Los Angeles has 49,002 unsheltered people countywide, with 1,600 in areas projected to be impacted. Officials lack a coordinated authority to address the issue.
