Despite harsh rhetoric from Trump about L.A.'s homeless crisis, top officials are working on a plan that would involve more federal funding and land.
On Thursday, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti sent a letter to President Trump and Secretary Ben Carson asking for federal assistance to address the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles., but feuded with California state and local officials who have accused the president of demagoguing the city’s homelessness crisis to fire up his political supporters.
Garcetti officials have opposed those notions, accusing the Trump administration of “playing politics” without offering serious solutions.to offer a cease-fire of sorts, tweeting an invitation — laced with partisan attack — for cities and states to ask for federal help to ease homelessness. Justice Department officials also met with the heads of the unions that represent rank-and-file Los Angeles police officers and county sheriff’s deputies to discuss options to deal with court rulings and legal settlements that have limited the LAPD’s ability to carry out sweeps at encampments.While at skid row, Carson and others met with the Rev. Andy Bales, chief executive of the Union Rescue Mission.
California’s largely Democratic political establishment considers itself the headquarters for anti-Trump forces, which view the president’s policies as racist and discriminatory.
