The homeless crisis is rewriting the history of Los Angeles. Can the city meet the challenge?
First in a series: Big Mama and her neighbors live in a homeless encampment in Los Angeles. Through a special housing initiative they’ll soon have the opportunity to move into apartments.
Big Mama and her friends were promised new apartments, but there were delays. Weeks later, a few residents received new apartments, but Big Mama and Top Shelf were left behind.
After moving into their apartments, Big Mama, Top Shelf, and other former residents of the homeless encampment find life indoors difficult.
When L.A. tried to move an entire homeless encampment off the streets, some residents jumped at the opportunity. Others couldn’t overcome past struggles.
A homeless advocate has filed a federal lawsuit against a Sacramento County sheriff’s deputy, claiming that he retaliated against her for protesting the clearing of an encampment.
Culver City approved a temporary rent control measure Monday, joining other Southern California cities that have boosted tenant protections.
Organizers for the 2028 L.A. Olympics would probably like everyone to forget about the homeless crisis, much like Japan wants visitors to ignore Fukushima.
Dog parks, fancy gyms and other perks help landlords lure high-paying tenants.
