In alignment with Project Homekey, LA County's efforts to provide temporary housing pushes forward as the city uses over $68M in grant funding plus $37M in local matching funds to purchase hotels located in the Los Angeles area. In October, the city had acquired ten hotels located in the West Adams, Exposition Park, North Hills, Reseda, Westlake, El Sereno, Harbor Gateway, and Chatsworth areas.

Initial planning steps were reported in September 2020 by Urbanize LA. The group shared the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted towards the "acquisition and renovation" of properties through Project Homekey. "Under the rules of the Project Homekey program - which provides $600 million in grant funding for hotel purchases statewide - individual jurisdictions are required to provide local matching funds for all acquisition costs over $100,000 per unit." 

The county is required to complete the acquisition process of each selected hotel by December 30th, 2020. As the city continues with finalizing hotel acquisition, eight additional properties were purchased. 

On December 11th Urbanize LA's Steven Sharp reported, "combined with properties already identified in a previous report, the purchase of the additional buildings will bring the City of Los Angeles' roster of Project Homekey sites to 18 in total, with space for up to 1,451 beds.  "

While LA's housing issue has become an ongoing process, local government continues to find housing solutions and provide assistance to those without homes. "The properties purchased via Project Homekey will be used primarily to provide shelter for unhoused persons living within 500 feet of a freeway, as well as those aged 65 or older, or otherwise considered especially vulnerable to COVID-19."
