Mayor Karen Bass said an Inside Safe operation is in the works for the problematic homeless encampment in Beverly Grove, but said the encampment won't be cleared until the city finds housing for every person living there.
"We haven't gone to that area," said Bass. "We haven't gone to clean it up, but I will tell you that as we speak, we are searching for the motel rooms so we anticipate that being cleaned up very soon. We are operating with the utmost urgency. We consider that a very severe problem that is growing. We want to stop that growth. We want to move those people and we are going to do that.
Van Kallen and Julie Hopkins, another business owner, said although there's been tents in the area for three years, the situation has grown worse in recent weeks with a rise in violence. So far, the city's Inside Safe program has relied on motel rooms for temporary shelter after an encampment is cleared and then permanent housing is next.
