When we ensure people have housing stability and services that support their mental and physical wellbeing, we will move closer to a Los Angeles where homelessness is rare, brief and nonrecurring. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WorldHomelessDay

Remember: btw 2020 and Jan 2023, we (1) froze evictions, (2) added 7k shelter beds, and (3) saw a tragic uptick in street mortality. All put pressure on the count to *fall*. That it rose *at all*–to say nothing of 9%–reveals an emergency even deeper than what we see outside.

Heard @CountyofLA’s top #homeless exec report on mental health & addiction rehab beds: current supply, in the pipeline & costs. This chart shows all bed types, it's a complicated system. Takeaways: 1) We have about 44,700 beds & 13K in development; 2) We need more; 3) We need to raise #federal reimbursement formulas so they cover our true costs. I’m monitoring this topic closely b/c these beds are critical to our fight against #homelessness. These beds change lives.

LA has a population of 3.9 Million but only 14 permanent public bathroom stalls on city streets.
Not only is bathroom access a human right, it’s a public health issue.
Restrooms can get taken for granted. If you work late hours, where do you go? What about if you're unhoused?
In my latest, I explore history of pay toilets and why we have only 14 of a key city solution now: permanent public toilets. @LAist

L.A. Mayor Bass debuted her Inside Safe program in Venice, and Hollywood, with another effort to remove encampments planned in Del Rey. But Angelenos whisked to motels under the first two are asking: Is this different, or will it be more broken promises?
