Homelessness & Homicides Down, City Hall Acting with More Urgency

LOS ANGELES - This week and next, in the run up to her second anniversary in office on December 12, Mayor Karen Bass will crisscross the city to highlight how her administration has made change and delivered results to reduce homelessness and homicides, create jobs, support businesses, combat climate change, better deliver city services and prepare for the World Cup, Olympic and Paralympic Games and other major events.

"Many of our city's greatest challenges, like homelessness, are decades in the making, but because we're working together to make change, we have turned the corner to reduce homelessness for the first time in years, bring down homicides, and make City Hall more responsive to the people of Los Angeles. We have much more work to do, but what we've achieved over the last two years shows we are moving L.A. in a new direction."
