“Yesterday’s Inside Safe operation will greatly improve the quality of life for those formerly unhoused individuals who moved inside,” Los Angeles City Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky said. “It also restores a sense of security and well-being for the larger Poinsettia Park community, who have been impacted for several years. I am deeply grateful to Mayor Bass, Councilmember [Hugo] Soto-Martinez, and Supervisor [Lindsey] Horvath for their continued partnership as we tackle the humanitarian crisis of homelessness head on.”

There were 35 Angelenos housed during the operation, for encampments in the area for more than a decade.

In a little over a year, the Inside Safe program has helped bring housing options.to.more than 2,000 unhoused Angelenos.

“We must continue to operate with urgency and help bring unhoused Angelenos inside as quickly as possible,” said Mayor Karen Bass. “Thousands of Angelenos have been helped so far. This is a matter of life and death. Being inside is better than being outside.”
