LOS ANGELES — In her first act as Los Angeles mayor, Karen Bass declared homelessness a state of emergency in the city.
According to a statement from Bass’ office, the declaration"will recognize the severity of Los Angeles' crisis and break new ground to maximize the ability to urgently move people inside."
Local COVID-era policies like eviction moratoriums and rentals assistance, as well as federal assistance have helped people stay housed throughout the pandemic, according to LAHSA. In her campaign for mayor, Bass promised to"House 15,000 people by the end of year one, dramatically reduce street homelessness, end street encampments," and"lead on mental health and substance abuse treatment," the campaign website reads.
