The mayor of Los Angeles Karen Pass highlights new data showing promising results from her “No” program – an initiative that focuses on preventing displacement through pre -emptive support and resource connection.
Speaking from the St. John Health Center in South John, Bass shared the results of an independent study indicating that the program has a real impact.
According to the research conducted by the Loyola Marymount Center of the University of Urban Flexibility, about 75 % of the program’s participants reached an improvement in their lives after receiving support through “We do not”
The program claims that it has reached more than 40,000 Angelenos, as it provides services such as Medi-Cal, CalWorks, Calfrest and legal assistance to prevent evacuation.
Bass said: “This research shows that our innovative approach actually helps prevent people from becoming uncomplicated.” “The key to the program is individual personal support-work with a case specialist to link people with what they need before they fall through cracks.”
The mayor also pointed to a 10 % decrease in displacement in the streets throughout the city during the past year, and highlighted that nearly 100 camps were erased through its “safe internal” program. In addition, almost permanent housing places compared to 2022.
Despite these gains, displacement strategies in the mayor are still under checking. The recent forensic review requested by a federal judge revealed challenges in tracking $ 2.4 billion in displacement spending throughout the city and Lahsa, the Services of the Homeless Services in Los Angeles. The scrutiny sparked concerns about data collection and accountability, and receiving shadow on the efforts of the city hall.
قدمت الولاية ، حاكم الولاية Gavin Newsom ، توجيهًا لقواعد المعسكر الأكثر صرامة وأعلن عن 3.3 مليار دولار في تمويل جديد من الاقتراح 1 لتوسيع علاج الصحة العقلية وتعاطي المخدرات. Although Bass confessed to tensions with the state, she expressed her gratitude for the recent support.
She said, “I am sure to share the frustration of the ruler.” “But our focus was preventing people from the streets and to housing – not just the prohibition of camps.”
For the first time in six years, the mayor indicated that the displacement in Los Angeles is in a decline – an optimistic sign in the continuous battle of the city against the crisis.
