Under the proposal, hotels would need to notify the city of what rooms are still available by 2 p.m. each afternoon.
The establishments would then be required to take in a homeless individual in exchange for a fair-market voucher from the city.
UNITE HERE Local 11, the union representing hotel and restaurant workers, gathered 126,000 signatures in favor of the proposal. "This will help with the homeless problem," said Maria Hernandez, a spokeswoman for UNITE."It is part of the effort to get people off the street."
