LA regional homeless count shows a spike in homelessness. How will that affect LA's race for mayor?
Los Angeles' regional homeless count shows a 3.4% increase in overall homelessness and a 7.9% rise in street homelessness, challenging Mayor Karen Bass's reelection bid. Bass attributes the rise to federal and state funding cuts, while challenger Nithya Raman criticizes her Inside Safe program for insufficient oversight and failure to provide permanent housing.
