City Attorney Mike Feuer is offering Citation Clinics for the homeless. Many of the homeless have several tickets for things, such as sleeping on the sidewalk, urinating, etc. Unanswered citations turn into warrants. Feuer’s office is implementing a clinic whereby these citations can be removed. But in return, those granted amnesty must participate in the social services offered.
Citations can hinder a homeless person from getting a job, getting housing. LA Time story and editorial.
