Quick Glance: Los Angeles Mayor's Efforts to Address Homelessness Challenges
- Mayor Karen Bass has cleared homeless encampments and relocated thousands of individuals into motels in her first year.
- The mayor's efforts to move homeless individuals from the streets to motels are seen as progress.
- The mayor's flagship program, Inside Safe, is unsustainable due to the city's budget issues, leaving homeless individuals in motels in a state of limbo until they secure permanent housing.
- Despite improvements in the cleanliness of sidewalks and parks in Los Angeles, the momentum in the nation's second most populous city is delicate, with new homeless individuals emerging daily and new encampments forming.

Florida homeless to be banned from sleeping in public spaces under DeSantis-backed law
apnews.com/article/homeless-florida-desantis-public-spaces-ban-f28a77bf5e445a5c26741cc9400fe40f
Quick Glance: New Law Prohibits Homeless Individuals from Sleeping in Public Places
- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a controversial bill aimed at prohibiting homeless individuals from sleeping in public places.
- Commencing on October 1, the law will forbid cities and counties from permitting individuals to sleep on public property unless specific criteria established by the Florida Department of Children and Families are met.
- An annual report from the Florida Council on Homelessness revealed a 9% increase in homelessness rates in Florida over the past five years.
- Critics of the legislation argue that it places local governments in a position where they may end up criminalizing homelessness instead of offering clear solutions to assist those in need.

California voters approve measure requiring counties to address homelessness crisis
thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/4546832-california-voters-approve-measure-requiring-counties-to-address-homelessness-crisis/
Quick Glance: California Voters Approve Measure to Combat Homelessness
- California voters have approved measures that mandate counties to allocate funds for housing and drug rehabilitation programs to address the homelessness crisis.
- Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, successfully advocated for the measure, which represents an update to the state's health system and required significant financial backing.
- The measure gives the state more control over a voter-approved tax enacted in 2004 for mental health services and obligates counties to spend about two-thirds of the funds on housing and programs for homeless individuals with severe mental illnesses or substance abuse issues.
- Opponents argued that the change jeopardizes programs not solely focused on housing or drug rehabilitation, but on preventing individuals from becoming homeless in the first place.
