Mayor Karen Bass unveiled her proposed city budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year with funding priorities focused on the city's homelessness crisis, supporting public safety and advancing a 'new L.A.'
She noted that, so far, her administration has brought about 1,000 Angelenos indoors through her Inside Safe Program, and that her proposed budget aims to build on that.
The budget overall also includes an unprecedented $1.3 billion investment to "accelerate momentum" on the homelessness issue. Through an executive directive and in coordination with the city attorney, Bass' office is working to provide thousands of properties and units for housing for those who are homeless. She said more than 3,000 city-owned properties are being evaluated for housing use.
The city will also be looking to hire more 911 operators as well, to help reduce calls for service response times.
