Good morning L.A. 👋 Here's what you need to know today.
Yesterday, Bass launched the “Inside Safe” program, which would place unhoused people in hotels and motels. She has a goal to place over 17,000 people in housing in her first year.
“It also showed that we could do something fairly quickly,” Painter said. “And so for her to pursue a similar plan makes a lot of sense.”Painter said city officials should set clear expectations on how they will house people through programs and other initiatives like “Inside Safe.” Knowing how many people they could house, by what time and through which program should we expect people to be housed is major key to judging the effectiveness of these initiatives.
“It’s easy to say that we are housing over 17,000 people because that's far less than our rate at which we actually house people in L.A. County that move through different kinds of housing,” Painter said. “If she’s suggesting that by January 2024, we should expect to see 18,000 fewer people experiencing homelessness in L.A. city than that is an ambitious goal. So, it’s not clear to me what she is claiming as her goal.
