LA mayor on her plan to counteract increase in homelessness

Season 2023 Episode 157 | 8m 53s

Los Angeles is home to the country’s largest homeless population and new Mayor Karen Bass promised solutions upon entering office in December. Last month, she signed a $13 billion city budget with 10 percent of it dedicated to addressing the problem. Much of the new investment aims to house the homeless and clear street encampments. Geoff Bennett discussed the initiative with Mayor Bass.
