A website meant to make L.A. city's homelessness programs more transparent is 'not user-friendly,' plaintiffs in a lawsuit told the judge who ordered the city to post its invoices.
Useful it may be. User-friendly or transparent it's not. That's the judgment of a 10-page report card on the website mounted by the city of Los Angeles last month to comply with a federal court order that it give the public access to all invoices for city-financed homeless initiatives.
Carter said in March that he would rule that the city acted in bad faith and has pressured both the city and county to be more transparent on their spending and the results of their homelessness initiatives. During the March hearing, Carter ordered the city to pay for an outside audit of its homelessness programs and extracted a commitment from Mayor Karen Bass that the city would have all invoices paid by the city in 2024 on a public website within two weeks.
