Federal judge wants to meet with Bass or Caruso after one wins as LA mayor race, to discuss complex homeless lawsuit.
A federal judge said on Monday, Nov. 14, that he wants to meet with the new mayor of Los Angeles once election results are final before approving the settlement of a lawsuit over local governments’ response to the homelessness crisis.
During a hearing in federal court discussing the proposed settlement, Carter indicated that the city, and especially the county, “can do better” in figuring out how to bring increased housing, outreach and supportive services to the thousands of people living on the streets. Carter acknowledged the amount of work it took for the often-contentious city and county to come to an agreement, but suggested that more work needs to be done to have a stronger impact on homelessness in the region.The county’s proposed settlement would commit $236 million to fund interim and permanent housing and supportive services, including in the treatment areas of mental health and substance use disorder that were a key aspect of the plaintiffs’ allegations in the case.
