unhoused

Mayor Karen Bass recently lifted the city’s state of emergency on homelessness, noting that the number of unhoused people decreased significantly in the last two years.

The market and two of Solano’s warehouses are located between Gage and Florence avenues, about a half-mile radius from encampments where multiple unhoused people live in their tents, cars or RVs.

Typically, when a clean-up operation is scheduled, unhoused people are notified ahead of time.

John Maceri, chief executive of The People Concern, an L.A.-based nonprofit social service agency focused on ending homelessness, said unhoused people may initially decline resources but that “relentless outreach” is necessary.

Raman has worked closely with Bass on efforts to move homeless Angelenos indoors, while also seeking fixes to the larger systems that serve L.A.’s unhoused population.
