Last week, the office of Los Angeles Controller Kenneth Mejia announced on social media it will be doing an audit on Inside Safe, a program under Mayor Karen Bass’ office aimed at addressing the city’s homelessness crisis.
Right now, the audit is in its beginning stages. The controller’s audit team is determining which components of Inside Safe the audit will focus on.
The controller is conducting this audit because the office has gotten many requests from the public to look into Inside Safe. On March 8, in federal court, it became clear that there is a need for transparency surrounding a program which has now been in place for over a year.
With this audit, the controller’s office aims to bring transparency to how Inside Safe is spending Angelenos city dollars, and what residents are getting in return for the city’s investment in this program.
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation secured a $400,000 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to increase composting practices and reduce food waste in communities across the city, with a focus on disadvantaged communities that already experience significant environmental impacts as identified by CalEnviroScreen. The federal funding will go toward operating 26 food waste reduction and composting locations at Farmers Markets, parks, and other locations.
Food waste collected at farmers markets is then turned into compost at up to six local parks.
