In Los Angeles, California, Mayor Eric Garcetti and members of the City Council have declared a “state of emergency” over homelessness and vowed to dedicate $100 million to address the issue. The plan reportedly involves increased hours at shelters and more rent subsidies. The declaration comes just weeks after Los Angeles was chosen as the U.S. candidate to host the 2024 Olympics.
