"Los Angeles has spent more than $300 million on Inside Safe since Bass launched the program in December 2022, clearing scores of homeless encampments and moving about 5,800 people into interim housing - mostly hotels and motels."
"In 2023, at the program's one-year mark, nearly 20% had returned to the street, according to numbers posted by LAHSA at the time."
"By the program's third year, about 40% of the people who had gone indoors - 2,300 of the 5,800 - were back on the street, according to LAHSA's dashboard."
Jonathan Torres was evicted from the Highland Park Motel for allowing guests, a violation of the Inside Safe program rules. This program, launched by Mayor Karen Bass, has spent over $300 million to house homeless individuals, moving about 5,800 people into interim housing. However, a rising number of participants are returning to homelessness, with nearly 20% back on the streets after one year and over 30% halfway through Bass' term. By the program's third year, about 40% of housed individuals had returned to unsheltered homelessness.
