Underpinning the Charlottesville gathering of neo-Nazis, antisemites and white supremacists was a racist conspiracy theory, called the great replacement theory, which says that elites, sometimes manipulated by Jews, seek to “replace” and disempower white Americans. The growing prominence of the theory in far-right circles has incited racist terror attacks across the world, including several mass shootings in the United States. Despite the recent spring rainstorms, the water in the steep flood channel hasn’t come anywhere near Augusto’s home. Every Sunday, a group of volunteers descend on the river community and bring food, Augusto said, but he cannot recall the church they’re affiliated with or if they are local to the neighborhood.
California spent billions on homelessness without tracking if it worked
For comparison, 71 percent of adults over 65 voted in the 2012 election, according to the U.S. About a mile away stands the Arroyo Seco Tiny Home Village, with 117 cabins that are intended to act as transitional housing. Two other tiny villages, also located in the council district represented by Councilman Kevin de León, are similarly meant to act as a steppingstone to permanent housing. De León’s office did not respond to requests for comment about the encampments along the Arroyo Seco. Augusto’s shelter has stood for at least four years, but he does not recall anyone from the city visiting in the last several days and has not had any issues with officials trying to move him out of his spot. Still, he knows that other unhoused residents lost their temporary shelters when the city conducted encampment sweeps.
City of Los Angeles
Ridley-Thomas said in a statement that if there’s no street engagement strategy in place, unhoused residents will “shuffle” from one neighborhood to another. In 2002, William Bratton, the former chief of police for the city of Los Angeles, began enforcing the ordinance. The American Civil Liberties Union sued, claiming that it was cruel and unusual punishment to ban sleeping on the streets or sidewalks if there weren’t enough shelter resources. While enforcement was on hold, Bratton in 2006 launched a “Safer Cities” initiative that brought more officers to Skid Row to enforce a zero-tolerance policy on crime. County Board of Supervisors voted to close the Men’s Central Jail, saying they wanted to provide a “Care First, Jail’s Last” approach.
Trump's good day at SCOTUS doesn't nix Jan. 6 case
He defeated his previous Republican opponent in 2018 by 13 points, and an analysis by the Cook Political Report rates the race as leaning toward the Democrats. The Haley vote suggests Mr. Trump may have some work to do to bring her voters back to his side in the fall. He became homeless in August after he, his wife and his grandchildren were priced out of their old apartment, he said. While at Gateway, Mr. Dupree has sought to stay engaged, tuning into a virtual town hall held by his congresswoman from the Gateway dormitory. State Senator Max Burns, the Republican sponsor of the bill, did not respond to requests for comment.
HELP US SUPPORT OUR
A safe and legal way to connect people living in their vehicles with resources. Assemblymember Gregg Hart (D-Santa Barbara), chair of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, said Tuesday he plans to conduct an oversight hearing to “further investigate” the audit results. State Republicans chastised the Newsom administration for the lack of data and said it’s proof that Democrat-backed strategies are not working as the state grapples with a multibillion-dollar budget deficit. The council consists of state officials including Health and Human Services Secretary Dr. Mark Ghaly and California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Secretary Jeff Macomber. As the mainstream media repeatedly fails and loses public trust, TGP has continued to offer accurate and timely reporting for almost two decades.
"I know there are critics of the legislation. I understand that — it is not a perfect piece of legislation. We're not ensured that in a time of divided government." Each portion of the package — which was broken down into separate bills — received bipartisan support. A majority of Republican members — 112 — voted against aid to Ukraine, with one member voting "present." Thirty-seven Democrats voted against aid to Israel. A Council to Homeless Persons report released today shows the number of working Victorians seeking help from homelessness services has jumped by 14 per cent. An "alarming" new report has found an increasing number of employed Victorians are experiencing homelessness. The ABC understands Reid's Guest House, which has capacity to house 50 people, is one of the largest single-site homelessness accommodation facilities in western Victoria.
Prosecutors have accused him of swindling donors, filing false campaign finance documents and collecting unemployment checks while he in fact had a job. Mr. LaLota, an incumbent running in a right-leaning district, never took the threat of Mr. Santos’s campaign seriously. And Mr. Santos, who has been accused of defrauding donors, was expected to face difficulties raising campaign funds. According to campaign finance reports, the former congressman — who faces charges tied to falsifying campaign finance reports — did not raise any money in the initial sprint after he announced his campaign. Speaking to an energetic crowd in downtown Pittsburgh on Tuesday night, Ms. Lee also pledged to support her fellow Squad members facing challenges nationwide. Ms. Patel said in a statement on social media that “we did not get the result we wanted tonight, but this race was far from a loss.” “While our campaign may end tonight, our cause continues on,” she added.
Former Liberal MP Nicolle Flint to recontest Adelaide seat of Boothby at next federal election
Cities can pour more resources into the emergency solutions, such as new and larger temporary shelters, Kushel said. That could “remove the problem from the public eye” and might look like an improvement in a city’s metrics. The latest federal estimates show more than 181,000 Californians were unhoused in 2023, with nearly 70% living on the streets. Sharon Lee, executive director of the Low Income Housing Institute, said she wanted to leverage Seattle’s law legalizing tent camping on public land.

Chicago has spent more than $300 million of city, state and federal funds to provide housing, health care, education and more to over 38,000 mostly South American migrants who have arrived in the city since 2022. The report showed a roughly 6% increase in California’s total unhoused population from the prior year, which some advocates noted was not the steepest increase across the country and was lower than the 12% increase nationwide. Henry said there had also been increased coordination across California, which had improved processes to get people indoors. The Golden state also reported the largest number of unaccompanied youth – 10,173 people under age 25.
Young people receive a nutritious meal, take a shower with new personal care products, receive new clothes, and sleep in a warm, safe bed. This announcement builds upon a $736 million investment to address homelessness statewide through the acquisition and construction of interim and permanent homeless housing. With this additional round of funding, total Homekey units have expanded to 13,484 homes throughout the state. The proposition, in part, supports the development of 8,000-10,000 permanent supportive housing units within the city of Los Angeles over 10 years. In a recent RAND Corp. survey, less than one-third of unhoused people who responded said they would move into congregate shelter options, such as temporary winter shelters or bridge homes, that offer less privacy.
The Luskin report says the same way the Great Depression led to a spike in the homeless population in Los Angeles in the 1930s, the COVID-19 pandemic will also increase the number of people who fall into homelessness. Although the city of Los Angeles has given renters increased protections from evictions and rent hikes, the city’s leaders are now exploring if the protections should be changed, continue or be phased out. The proposal doesn’t ask for immediate changes, but the city asked the city’s housing department to report back in 30 days on options for amending protections.
Assistant Majority Leader Alice Pesich, a Democrat, told the Fall River Reporter that no families, whether they are new to the state or not, are being put out on the street. So it’s going to be really difficult for them to say, ‘Yes, I used to be an electrician in my country. I’m just using mine, which is Somalia.’ But that might not really fall into our laws that we have in this country,” said one of the state representatives. Last week, a contentious vote took place in the Massachusetts House of Representatives where a bill aimed at prioritizing U.S. military veterans for shelter assistance over illegal immigrants was defeated. In the litany of lies and half-truths told by George Santos in a fanciful journey in which he was first elected to and then expelled from Congress, the one he told about his nascent campaign for a different House seat on Long Island was not exactly a lie. The congresswoman was winning by an overwhelming margin with counting nearly complete late Tuesday, underlining the strength of her position as an incumbent this year after she out-raised her opponent with widespread backing from Democratic officials.
If you couldn’t pay rent, you had to write to your landlord no more than seven days after the rent was due to let them know. The city controller released a Homelessness and Housing Hub that has data and resources from across the city, county, LAHSA, and other agencies across the region to track building and spending. According to the Luskin report, the best way to understand policies surrounding homelessness in Los Angeles over the past 40 years is to realize that nothing happened until it left the “containment” area of Skid Row and became more visible in other parts of the region. That’s what caused public opinion to gradually change after a poll found that “ending homelessness” was people’s highest priority.
