In a statement, Mayor R. Rex Parris said the city is taking immediate action and called Bass' plan 'irresponsible and inhumane.'
"It's not just about the money — of course money is needed — but it's really about the arcane bureaucratic process. You talk to developers and it's just so difficult to get anything done," Bass said, citing a news conference she recently held at a housing project where the builder had been working for 16 years.
The emergency declaration — which is scheduled to last six months — allows Bass to take more aggressive executive actions to confront the crisis, though the City Council will have to sign off on it every 30 days. Whether to continue the state of emergency will be evaluated by several indicators of progress, including the number of encampments and housing placements, and how much more flexibility city departments are allowed through the declaration.
said the "Inside Safe" program would get "people to move on their own" and would not involve sweeps. It will use master leasing with motels near encampments to place unhoused people.requiring all departments responsible for processing affordable housing and shelter applications to complete all reviews within 60 days. Such reviews typically take six to nine months, city officials said.
