Los Angeles County supervisors were displeased Tuesday to hear how slow county departments have been to address the region's homelessness crisis.

Last September, the supervisors asked several departments to develop a 36-month plan to address the RV encampments across L.A. County. The supervisors wanted to see county workers engage with at least 500 people living in RVs annually and dismantle at least 900 nonworking RVs during the pilot program.
Cheri Todoroff, who has served as executive director of the county’s Homeless Initiative for about two years, said finding vacant lots for residents’ RVs once they are persuaded to leave them has been a tremendous challenge.
