While Bass has defended Inside Safe, her signature program for encampment resolution, a Los Angeles Times analysis found that in roughly four years since the program began, about 41% of unhoused people who participated in the program had returned to homelessness.<\/p>\n
L.A. County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath told The Times the homeless count serves as one data point and “not the whole picture.”<\/p>\n
“People experiencing homelessness \u2014 and the communities impacted by this crisis \u2014 care less about esoteric debates over the numbers,” Horvath told The Times. “They care more about what they see on our streets \u2014 whether people are getting into housing, accessing the are they need, and being accountable for how their tax dollars are being spent.”<\/p>\n
LAHSA has faced significant challenges as L.A. County diverted more than $300 million and members of its workforce to establish a new department of homelessness, which began July 1. City officials are also working on a plan to separate itself from the agency.<\/p>\n
The joint city-county agency, established in 1993, has been criticized for its failure to properly track millions of dollars, and ensuring taxpayer money was being used effectively. LAHSA has stated it has implemented new procedures, protocols and technology to improve those issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While Bass has defended Inside Safe, her signature program for encampment resolution, a Los Angeles Times analysis found…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":410101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-410100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
