Show Notes
Los Angeles left over half of its budgeted funds for homeless programs unspent last fiscal year, totaling $473 million. The city controller, Kenneth Mejia, identified delays in spending, particularly from state grants and the mansion tax. Mejia recommends using grants the same year theyre received, providing clearer timelines, and monthly budget checks. Mayor Karen Bass and Councilmember Nithya Raman support these ideas, emphasizing transparency. The city aims to improve accountability and trust by reducing bureaucracy and expediting spending.
