What would it take for you to put the homeless in your own backyard?

The city and county of Los Angeles are attempting to find out.

In separate pilot programs, officials are offering subsidies of between $10,000 and $30,000 to homeowners who commit to creating accessory dwelling units — more commonly called “granny flats” — and renting them out to the formerly homeless.

On Monday, Bloomberg Philanthropies announced the city won a $1 million grant to get the experiment off the ground. City officials are likely to look for more private money to fund the pilot program.

It is unclear exactly how many units the city will pay for with this round of money, but much of the experiment will focus on just what it will take to convince homeowners that they should rent out their back houses to the homeless.
