LA City Council says that sweeps are not happening, that they are not throwing away unhoused people's personal property, that these are just "service days."
We know that this is far from the truth.

Little bits of freedom get fought for, then they come under attack, then the āadvocatesā come and try and negotiate. Donāt give any of it back.
Donāt let the poor-hating politicians fool you when they say āwe donāt criminalize homelessness.ā

Los Angeles city government has pursued a cruel, expensive, and ineffective policy of criminalizing peopleās unhoused status through arrests, tickets, and property destruction.

One other lie of omission from Krekorian: he is correct that LAHSA is not a city agency, but he is full of it when he says the city has "no control" over LAHSA. Notably, the Mayor appoints half of its governing board. The City exercises indirect control over LAHSA all the time.
Street Watch LA retweeted
Krekorian, in a 2021 letter to the public, promised a "robust street engagement strategy" to go along with the law. Despite this promise, as LAHSA notes, Council provided no funding for services during encampment clearance. They didn't even include basic reporting requirements.
ALT "At the same time, the City is developing a robust street engagement strategy to assist our unhoused neighbors in moving from the street to our expanding supply of interim and permanent housing options, and accessing the other services that can break the cycle of homelessness and save lives."

City Council Paul Krekorian responds to the controversy around the LAHSA/CAO reports on 41.18. @PaulKrekorian's response is unconvincing at best, and deceptive at worst. You can see it here:

Krekorian's lengthy statement does not address a vital point in the @LAHomeless report:
94% of people experiencing #homelessness at #encampments targeted for removal under 41.18 wanted shelter.
Only 18% were able to get it.

Paul used the word 'demagogue' not once but twice in this nine paragraph statement.

laist.com/brief/news/housingā¦ Yesterday, LA CAN released its 41.18-report, āSeparate and Unequalā demanding that the City of LA release its 261-day overdue assessment of the law. Today, a copy of the hidden report was leaked, confirming our writing. Pressure bursts pipes!

City Hall has been suppressing a report on the failures of 41.18, LA's primary law for criminalizing homelessness. It turns out that you can't arrest your way out of homelessness.

While Traci Park and John Lee honor chief Moore weāre at city hall with @LACANetwork to ask council where the 41.18 report they called for 261 days ago is. While they continue to criminalize, LACAN worked w/houseless folks to produce their own report on 41.18 #SeparateAndUnequal

Towing, sweeps, displacement, saying no to low-income housing is CD11. Many of the 100s @MayorOfLA is touting brought inside $ hotels still(!) or back in the streets. All the chearing is about disappearing poverty from the meanest whitest westside ever.
So sad to be proud of it (
