Karen Bass’ pathetic push to blame others for spike in LA homelessness
Los Angeles’ upcoming Point-in-Time homeless count is expected to show a sharp increase, reversing modest declines from previous years. The city spends about $3 billion annually on homelessness programs, yet the population continues to grow. Mayor Karen Bass and the City Council have responded by attributing the rise to external factors while maintaining funding for existing agencies.
- ▪The Point-in-Time count is projected to reveal an increase of up to 8% in street homelessness.
- ▪Los Angeles and the county collectively allocate roughly $3 billion each year toward homelessness services.
- ▪Mayor Bass and council members have cited the Trump administration and other external influences as contributors to the rising numbers, while continuing to fund agencies such as the LA Homeless Services Authority.
