LA County supervisor to introduce motion next week to address veteran homelessness, Norwalk ceremony told

A representative for Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn told Norwalk’s Veterans Day ceremony that Hahn will introduce a county board motion next week directing county departments to coordinate efforts to end veteran homelessness.

The supervisor’s office representative said that "in the county of Los Angeles, we have over 3,000 veterans, who are sleeping on our streets here in LA County," and argued that the county should marshal resources to ensure "no veteran should be sleeping on our streets." The announcement was presented as part of the supervisor’s certificate of commendation to the city for its Veterans Day activities.

The motion was described as an interdepartmental rallying effort; the transcript records the announcement but no formal text of the motion was presented at the ceremony. The representative framed Norwalk’s housing work — including Veterans Villas on San Antonio Drive — as the kind of local effort the county seeks to support.

The motion’s introduction is an announced next step; the transcript does not record a vote or a formal county board action at the ceremony. Journalists and residents seeking details about the motion’s scope, proposed timeline or funding should consult the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors agenda once the motion is posted.
