.MayorOfLA Karen Bass introduced her first budget, recommending spending $1.3 billion next year to get unhoused people into shelter and treatment programs.
The spending would be part of Bass's goal to get the city to the point of being a"new L.A." She is set to unveil the budget at City Hall on Tuesday.“This is a truly historic city budget commitment because much of the state and federal pandemic-related money from the past couple of years is no longer available,” Bass said in her address.
One of Bass’s funding priorities is to bolster the LAPD, citing staff decreases that could amount to a record-breaking low not seen since 2002. Besides rebuilding the police force, Bass highlighted a number of other community improvements she plans to target with the new budget. These include resources for social workers, community intervention workers, clinical psychologists, youth programs, and more.
Bass noted that Inside Safe moves to dismantle the barriers to prevent people from moving off the streets, adding that they can stay with their parents and bring their pets with them.
