In a 9 a.m. news conference Monday, newly inaugurated Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass officially declared a state of emergency on homelessness.
Bass said the declaration would streamline efforts to address the issue, calling it a"seismic shift."
The declaration unlocks state and federal resources and cuts red tape, which will allow work to be done quickly, like taking whole encampments off the streets, placing those communities in rented hotels immediately, and working to get the unhoused from temporary housing into long-term solutions. Bass promised another news briefing soon with more details about what she called"Inside Safe," the program that will be tasked with bringing people off streets in the most vulnerable areas quickly. She expects funds of under $100 million to be needed.
