Listeners of Los Angeles News Today receive 10% off with code LANEWS10. theplantdaddies.com/lanews LA’s latest homeless count hints at a slight uptick—3.4%—after two years of decline, raising questions about Mayor Bass’s progress. While some say the rise may fall within counting error, Bass points to funding cuts and fragmented county services as key hurdles. Still, she notes an 11% drop since 2023. Councilwoman Raman, Bass’s opponent, calls the numbers disappointing but not shocking, arguing City Hall’s strategy isn’t working—and credits her own district’s success to direct, sustained action. Despite the setback, officials remain focused on housing people and preventing evictions, navigating a complex crisis with limited resources.
