Mayor Karen Bass Tuesday lifted her declaration of a local emergency on homelessness, noting that while the crisis persists, the city now has the tools in place to continue urgent action without the temporary order she signed on her first day in office.<\/p>\n
In a memo to the City Council, the mayor reiterated that if at any point \u201cextraordinary authority\u201d is needed to maintain or accelerate progress on homelessness, she would not hesitate to reinstate the declaration. Her decision came at a time when council members have discussed steps to phase out her emergency declaration.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, with the city firmly pointed in a new direction on homelessness, I am lifting the official declaration of a state of emergency. Let me be clear: the crisis remains, and so does our urgency,\u201d Bass wrote in her letter. \u201cEvery day, we will continue to be on the streets, engaging with people living in encampments and RVs, bringing people Inside Safe and restoring neighborhoods across Los Angeles.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI look forward to our continued partnership and thank you for your commitment to serve the people of Los Angeles,\u201d her letter read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mayor Karen Bass Tuesday lifted her declaration of a local emergency on homelessness, noting that while the crisis…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":356209,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[6297,1582,276,83912,3534,7265,2961,173723,224,5337],"class_list":{"0":"post-356208","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-bass","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-declaration","12":"tag-emergency","13":"tag-homelessness","14":"tag-la","15":"tag-lifts","16":"tag-los-angeles","17":"tag-losangeles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115494263665270032","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=356208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/356208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/356209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=356208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=356208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=356208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
