The L.A. County Board of Supervisors endorsed Mayor Karen Bass' state of emergency on homelessness.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass campaigned on bringing a whole-of-government approach to solving homelessness, and she continued those efforts Tuesday by receiving the support of the L.A. County Board of Supervisors.
"Mayor Bass' mindset and determination are bringing a renewed vigor to a battle that we've all been fighting way too long," said Janice Hahn, the chairwoman of the board. "And we know this is not the city of L.A.'s problem to solve alone." "The majority of people experiencing homelessness are in the city of Los Angeles," Hahn said. "Out of the nearly 70,000 people that are homeless in L.A. County, 42,000 are living in the city of Los Angeles."
