L.A. Mayor Wants $1.3 Billion for Homeless Crisis

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has declared on Monday that she will advocate for allocating a record-breaking $1.3 billion in funding for housing and treatment services for the city’s homeless population next year.

This comes as Bass was elected in November through her platform of tackling the city’s out of control homelessness epidemic

While L.A. searches through its list of properties for those that could be utilized to house homeless people, some of the funding that will be included in the mayor’s next budget could be used to purchase hotels or motels that would be converted to housing. (Excerpt from One America News.)
