Homelessness takes center stage in Los Angeles with new Mayor Karen Bass
Bass announced via Twitter the city's state of emergency, something she vowed would be her first act as mayor."I just declared a state of emergency on homelessness to unlock every tool and authority at our disposal to bring unhoused Angelenos inside," Bass tweeted."This is a matter of life and death and that's exactly how my administration will treat it.
Bass said during her inauguration that she is going to focus on bringing the city together to tackle problems such as crime and housing, which were central themes of the mayoral race. Following the implementation of the state of emergency, she said one of her first acts as mayor will center on building new housing in every neighborhood.
Bass added she would be working with law enforcement to increase the police presence in some communities with heavy crime rates and creating an Office of Community Safety to combat crime across Los Angeles.
