Several homeless people who have been living near City Hall said they were told they needed to move in the run-up to the inauguration event for Mayor-elect Karen Bass
on Day 1, with an immediate focus on the city’s most “challenging” encampments.
The decision to move people into the L.A. Grand on Thursday marked a change in direction for the city, which has spent months working to close facilities that participated in Project Roomkey. The federally funded program turned hotels in downtown, Hollywood and elsewhere into temporary housing for L.A.'s homeless residents after the outbreak of COVID-19.On Thursday night, Bass announced that an incoming storm had prompted her team toto an indoor location, the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live.
Harrison Wollman, a Garcetti spokesperson, did not directly address questions about whether the encampment was moved for the inauguration. In an email, he said homeless outreach began in the area in July, with crisis response teams getting involved a month later. Luis Suarez, left, waits for the cleanup to start on Spring Street across from City Hall. He decided to accept an offer of shelter.
The compressed timeline between election day and inauguration is presenting challenges for Mayor-elect Karen Bass.
