A Victory?

The agenda item to "suggest" that a request be made to HUD to circumvent the law of the land (aka McKinney-Vento) by making the argument that Long Beach already "does enough" to serve the homeless was removed from the docket last night. Apparently the city attorney was able to convince a certain council person that it wasn't in the city's best interest to pursue her quixotic quest.

Not necessarily a victory for the mentally-ill/homeless in Long Beach..but not a defeat either.
