LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will launch a city program to move people living in tents on city streets into hotel and motel rooms on Tuesday, she said Sunday during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press.”
“Now it’s not going to address everybody but it is going to address hopefully a significant number,” Bass told “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd. “We’re going to put them in motels and hotels immediately.”
Bass said the “Inside Safe” program would get “people to move on their own” and wouldn’t involve “sweeps” — a pejorative word used by activists to describe the clearing of encampments by the city.
