Homeless activists are calling on the city to redirect money spent on police-led sanitation sweeps each year toward showers, water fountains, bathrooms, trash collection and regularly scheduled cleanups for people living in the city’s many street camps.

Nafeesa Ansar, who has been homeless for more than two years, stands outside her camp with her dog, Monk Monk, on Alvarado Street after a news conference to announce a campaign to shift city money from camp sweeps to homeless services.

“We get a ticket for just having a shopping cart,” said the 40-year-old, who said she has been homeless in Los Angeles for more than two years. “I get panic attacks and anxiety.”Ansar was part of a protest by a coalition of homeless activists and health and housing providers, who called on L.A.
