L.A. City Council is set to vote on the city’s huge 2023-24 budget on Thursday, and tackling homelessness is its core.
A week after Los Angeles City Council budget chair Bob Blumenfield said theMayor Karen Bass’ spending plan for the next fiscal year, the committee backed a tweaked proposal which Blumenfield said would give Bass flexibility to pursue her signature homeless program — but give the council the accountability it’s seeking.
“It’s our responsibility as elected officials to legislate and to help shape policies on homelessness and other matters,” he added. “The council must remain at the table as partners in finding longterm solutions. We must, we can and we will do that.” But Bass raised concerns that not having immediate access would slow down her administration’s ability to act swiftly to address the homeless crisis.
As a condition to automatically replenishing Inside Safe, the budget committee put in a stipulation that the mayor’s office must provide biweekly reports to the council’s Housing and Homelessness Committee – one report focused on expenditures and another detailing other aspects such as logistics. The first report must be submitted in June.
