TODAY: Tune into @KPCC at 12:45 today to hear Managing Director @sabamwine comment on the swearing in of incoming Mayor @KarenBassLA, and discuss housing and homelessness in LA.
A survey conducted via mobile phone by researchers at @USCPrice polled the health conditions of people experiencing homelessness and their desire for housing stability. Read more about what the survey revealed below:

Many policy discussions around homelessness lack the perspective of unhoused people. @HPRI_LA's research fills this gap in a low-cost way by sending questions directly to unhoused Angelenos' phones.

Love starting the day with a presentation from @Coodence and team about our @CA_WorkforceDev work to build employment strategies for the precariously housed. @USCPriceCSI
I don’t think anyone is surprised at this outcome. The governor was able to make the political point that collectively every jurisdiction needs a plan to end homelessness and jurisdictions can use these one-time funds on evidenced-based interventions 1/3
Two weeks ago, @GavinNewsom withheld a $1 billion homelessness grant over unambitious goals. But local governments didn’t have much of an incentive to shoot for the stars because of the way the governor and Legislature wrote the grant. I explain: calmatters.org/housing/homel…
We are proud to share an innovative project that seeks to improve Fair Chance hiring practices in LA. This partnership with @ChrysalisSoCal & @Leaders_Up is identifying innovative approaches to hiring & retaining justice-involved individuals & advancing racial & economic equity.
Research shows that a criminal record of any sort–including arrest without conviction–can reduce the likelihood of a job offer by almost 50%.
