Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is scheduled to sign an executive directive Friday that will accelerate and lower the cost of building affordable housing and shelters in the city.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass continued to make the homeless crisis a priority by signing an executive order to lower the cost and accelerate the building of affordable housing in the city.
Mayor Karen Bass signed her executive declaration at Lorena Plaza, an affordable housing project that took workers 16 years to break ground.The executive directive aims to lift regulations that slow, or sometimes prevent, the construction of permanent and temporary housing. As of Friday, the city must complete the approval process for all affordable housing projects within 60 days. Next, when construction begins, permits and certificates of occupancies must be completed in just five days.
"That is the urgency we need at city hall and that is what we are delivering," the mayor said."How on Earth can we expect to house 40,000 people if we continue business as usual?" "There are unhoused people who have tents around Evergreen Cemetery so it's actually fantastic for them to have a spot to live," said resident Maia Villa."Rent is so unaffordable in L.A. nowadays.
"Every city there is still space to build affordable housing," said Perez."But we don't see it in Beverly Hills. We don't see it in Culver City. We don't see it as much as it is here.""The neighborhoods where housing is being built are already neighborhoods that are severely overcrowded," she said."That's why all Angelenos have to have skin in the game.
