City leaders are continuing to push legislators for more resources to combat homelessness, improve public safety and recover from recent storms and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Karen Bass, Mayor, City of Los Angeles, speaks during a press conference to kick off the 2024 LAHSA homeless count for Los Angeles County at Tiara Street Park in North Hollywood on Tuesday Jan. 23, 2024. A delegation of Los Angeles city officials led by Mayor Karen Bass will conclude two days of meetings at the statehouse in Sacramento Tuesday, continuing to push legislators for more resources to combat homelessness, improve public safety and recover from recent storms and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, Bass noted that the city secured a $7.2 million Homekey Round 3 grant last week — the seventh such award the city has secured from the state.Other goals of the trip include obtaining funding for more housing and advocating for expedited reimbursements for past emergencies such as the coronavirus pandemic and recent storms.
Rodriguez said the trip is an opportunity to connect with many legislators and elevate issues that are “most pressing to the people of Los Angeles, particularly post-COVID.” In regard to the funding for interim housing, Bass emphasized that “our priority always has to be to save lives — and when we work together, across all levels of government, we can make real progress.”“With more than 40,000 unhoused Angelenos on our streets, it was unacceptable that we had voucher holders unable to come inside,” she said.
