Hahn was joined by Jackie Dupont-Walker, a Metro board member appointed by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass; L.A. County Homeless Initiative CEO Ashlee Oh; LA Metro Homeless Initiative Director Craig Joyce; L.A. City Deputy Mayor Randall Winston andLA Metro is studying whether to place a homeless caretaking facility on a Metro parking lot near the end of the A Line in Long Beach.

Both Hahn and Richardson noted that the Philadelphia transit agency doesn’t go it alone. The Hub of Hope is run by Project Home, a nonprofit, and includes cooperation from the city of Philadelphia and SEPTA and costs about $2.5 million a year to operate. Hahn agreed, saying Metro should seek more help from nonprofits who have street teams that address the needs of homeless individuals. She said that often nonprofits are not allowed on Metro’s train platforms.
