Fox News
The homeless crisis devastating Los Angeles appears to be worsening as Mayor Karen Bass signed an updated emergency declaration giving her more extensive authorities.
"It's no secret that Los Angeles is facing an emergency when it comes to homelessness," Bass said in a statement, "This is an issue of life and death for the thousands of people who are living in tents and cars. That’s why I signed an updated declaration of emergency and have continued to lock arms with the City Council to maintain our momentum toward confronting homelessness and building more affordable housing." Aaron Kliegman is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
Bass, who initially signed an emergency declaration on homelessness just six months ago on her first day in office, added that the city has made progress in building housing and bringing city residents inside. However, she didn't hold back in portraying the situation as dire during a press briefing at City Hall.
