Attorneys for the LA Alliance for Human Rights argued the city has breached settlements reached in 2020 and 2022 requiring it to provide nearly 20,000 new ‘housing solutions’ for homeless people and to remove just under 10,000 encampments from the streets.

Umhofer, Mitchell & King is honored to announce one of our founding partners, Matthew Umhofer, has been included in the 2025 Chambers USA guide. This is the firm's second recognition in 2025 by Chambers and Partners.

Bass herself called the system 'broken' during her State of the City address in April, a fact highlighted by Matthew Umhofer, an attorney for the [A]lliance.

Those statements, Umhofer said, only reinforce the alliance’s argument that the city’s homelessness programs are beyond repair and must be placed into receivership.
