Los Angeles is ramping up efforts to protect people experiencing homelessness from the coronavirus outbreak.
“With this virus touching every part of our community, we’re doing whatever we can to keep those without a home safe,” Garcetti said.

This site will include transportation to isolation and quarantine beds for people who test positive, Garcetti said.
Los Angeles is also launching a program to house at-risk homeless people inside trailers provided by the state. These temporary shelters will be reserved for residents without homes who are 65 and older or have pre-existing health conditions. Garcetti said he anticipates 300 trailers will be available in the coming weeks.
