Rainbow said she's due to give birth soon, but doesn't want to go through all the red tape associated with getting medical care.
A North Hollywood neighborhood is raising concerns over a pregnant homeless woman who lives in their community who is reluctant to accept medical help, even though she says she's due to give birth any day now. As I pulled up to the Lankershim Boulevard neighborhood, locals pointed out the tent of the 34-year-old woman who lives there. Her name is Rainbow. They've been very worried about her and her unborn baby. Rainbow said she doesn't think she can handle the child after birth.
's Deputy Chief Senior Advisor Lakesha Williams told me Rainbow turned down temporary housing."She declined resources to go into an emergency motel today, but she is willing to go to the hospital to join the maternity program," Williams said.That's now being worked by team members.
