Sweeps don’t solve the root cause of homelessness — lack of affordable housing and underfunded systems of care — they only criminalize and scatter people, making the crisis worse. I will end sweeps in CD13 and lead with trauma-informed polices that are proven to work.

Outreach often requires direct assistance. Some residents were at work during the sweep, and if organizers hadn’t been on the ground, their belongings would have been trashed or impounded. Replacing destroyed shelter with quality, reasonably-sized tents is below the bare minimum.

Thinking back to #EchoParkLake last year - it cost taxpayers $2,039,149 to pay the LAPD to evict unhoused residents out of Echo Park Lake. That could have housed 85 unhoused residents in apartments for a full year. It even cost more than the park rehabilitation itself. $735,500.
