LA Mayor Karen Bass' Inside Safe initiative decreases homelessness, but persistent challenges, like affordable long-term housing, remain.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' Inside Safe initiative provides temporary hotel stays for the homeless, resulting in a slight overall decrease in homelessness. However, challenges persist, with many still living on the streets due to a lack of affordable long-term housing and supportive services. In San Diego, Mayor Todd Gloria announced plans to expand shelter options and implement a homelessness diversion program to assist individuals in finding housing as hundreds of beds are set to close.
