The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to declare a homelessness emergency Tuesday, echoing Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' emergency declaration that she made during her first days in office.
However, past promises have not paid off. The most recent homeless counts show roughly 42,000 unhoused people are in the city of Los Angeles and more than 69,000 in L.A. County. "When we work together with Mayor Bass, Mayor Richardson and our regional partners... we will get people into housing for good, we'll get them the care they need and deserve and results for every community in L.A. County," Horvath said.California Gov. Gavin Newsom rolled out his budget for the upcoming fiscal year, and while he's projecting a $22.5 billion deficit, he not only says that the state will keep its promised $15.
