Los Angeles hospitality workers react to proposal that would require hotels to offer up vacant rooms to homeless people
on Friday, hotel workers and industry players voiced opinions for and against the proposal, with several noting that staff members are not properly trained to provide the mental health and social services required to adequately address unsheltered individuals' needs.
An owner of the Hampton Inn Suites in Los Angeles reiterated these concerns, saying his employees are"absolutely scared and fear not just for their lives and their safety, but also for how we are treating the homeless and unsheltered." "Even as a union member with a good-paying job, I was recently homeless due to the housing crisis in our city," Bambian Taft, a hotel minibar attendant and former housekeeper, said.
