Annual Homelessness Count Down Two Years In A Row, A First in Los Angeles

Annual Homelessness Count Down Two Years In A Row, A First in Los Angeles

 

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority released the results of the 2025 annual homeless count showing for the first time a second consecutive year of decline in the number of people experiencing homelessness. The 2025 count, designed by University of Southern California and conducted in alignment with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development standards, reports a 17.5% decrease in street homelessness since before Mayor Bass took office.

These results follow Mayor Bass’ efforts to implement a comprehensive strategy that confronts street homelessness. The status quo had been to leave people on the street until permanent housing was completed, which resulted in Angelenos languishing on the street with no end in sight. Mayor Bass rejected that approach and has focused on ending the humanitarian crisis on the street while expediting the building of permanent housing.

On her first day in office, Mayor Bass declared a state of emergency to urgently get people off the streets. Her signature initiative Inside Safe has brought thousands of people inside and resolved more than 100 often entrenched and longstanding encampments in every council district in the city.

This year’s Point in Time Count results show:

  • Homelessness reported to have declined for two years in a row in L.A. for the first time.
  • Street homelessness reduced by 17.5% since Mayor Bass took office in December of 2022. This is the largest decrease over two years since the Point in Time Count began in 2005.
  • The number of makeshift shelters, tents, cars, vans and RVs declined for a second time in a row, down 13.5%.
  • Permanent housing placements in Los Angeles City are at an all-time high.

Earlier this month, the RAND Corporation released its annual report showing a 49% decline in the number of people experiencing street homelessness in Hollywood from last year to the year prior, drawing a connection to the work of Mayor Bass’ Inside Safe program. The report also showed a decrease in Venice. Inside Safe has conducted more than a dozen operations in Hollywood and monitors all locations to continue bringing people inside from those sites. In 2024, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority released the results showing the first decrease in homelessness in Los Angeles City for the first time in years — bucking nationwide and statewide trends.

Barragán Briefs: Rep. Thanks State Leaders for Safeguarding Medi-Cal & In-Home Care, Addressess Escalating Climate Threats

 

Rep. Barragán Thanks Gov. Newsom and State Legislators for Protecting Access to Medi-Cal and In-Home Care in Final 2025-26 State Budget Signed into Law

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Late June, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the 2025-26 state budget into law and delivered on protecting access to Medi-Cal and in-home care. In early June, Rep. Nanette Barragán (CA-44) led 16 members of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation in a letter urging Gov. Gavin Newsom and State Legislators to reject reinstating the $2000 Medi-Cal asset limit and to reject capping overtime hours for in-home supportive services (IHSS) providers.

Gov. Newsom’s original May budget revision proposed cutting access to state and federally funded Medi-Cal and Medi-Cal’s IHSS program by proposing to reinstate a low $2000 Medi-Cal asset limit for seniors and adults with disabilities. It had also proposed a cap on overtime and travel hours for IHSS providers, who provide in-home care to seniors and people with disabilities as an alternative to out-of-home care.

The final budget, negotiated by the Governor and State Legislature, reinstates a much higher Medi-Cal asset limit of $130,000 for individuals, rather than the Governor’s original proposal of $2,000 – it also did not include the proposal to cap overtime hours for IHSS providers.

Rep. Barragán July 13 issued the following statement following the Governor’s signing the budget into law:

“The proposals in the Governor’s May Revision included potentially devastating cuts to Medi-Cal and in-home care that would have threatened the health and financial stability of seniors, children, adults with disabilities, and home care workers throughout California. I appreciate that the Governor and the State Legislature took meaningful steps to protect access to Medi-Cal and in-home care in the final negotiated budget that was signed into law. I look forward to continuing to work together with the State to protect our essential in-home care workers and ensure Californians can access the affordable, quality health care they need.”

 

 

Rep. Barragán and Sen. Markey Introduce Resolution to Confront Rising Public Health Threats from Climate Change

WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, Congresswoman Nanette Barragán (CA-44), a member of the energy & commerce subcommittee on health, and Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), member of the environment and public works committee, introduced a resolution recognizing climate change as a growing threat to public health and calling for a coordinated federal strategy to protect communities from worsening climate-fueled harms. The resolution urges the Department of Health and Human Services or HHS and other federal agencies to lead a whole-of-government effort to protect public health and improve resiliency against climate-related threats throughout the health sector. Representatives Salud Carbajal (CA-24), Doris Matsui (CA-07), and Brad Schneider (IL-10) co-led the resolution in the House.

The climate crisis is here. In 2024, the United States experienced 27 climate disasters that caused more than a billion dollars each in damage. Increasingly frequent and extreme events — like wildfires, floods, and heat waves — are driving spikes in illness, displacement, and death. More than 150 million Americans live in areas with unhealthy air, and people with disabilities are 2 to 4 times more likely to die or be injured in climate-related disasters. Frontline workers in agriculture, construction, delivery, and manufacturing face growing health risks from extreme heat and poor air quality on the job.

Specifically, the resolution:

  • Demands the release of funding appropriated by Congress that would help to address climate-related health threats that has been held up by Federal agencies;
  • Details the public health dimensions of the climate crisis, including increased risks of respiratory illness, cardiovascular disease, mental health stressors, pregnancy complications, infectious disease outbreaks, and disaster-related displacement;
  • Highlights the disproportionate health burdens on children, people with disabilities, low-income households, communities of color, Tribal nations, and workers in high-risk occupations;
  • Calls on the Department of Health and Human Services to lead cross-agency coordination to strengthen health system climate resilience, support frontline providers, close gaps in climate-health data, and help the health sector lower its own environmental impact;
  • Affirms the importance of engaging environmental justice and community-based organizations in local climate-health preparedness and response efforts;
  • Urges the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to adopt a national worker heat protection standard; and,
  • Calls for annual public reporting on federal climate-health resilience investments and progress.

Dignity Health – St. Mary Medical Center Reaffirms Commitment to the Long Beach Community, Patient Safety and Quality Outcomes Following Lawsuit

 

LONG BEACH — Dignity Health – St. Mary Medical Center or SMMC in July reaffirmed its dedication to the health and well-being of the greater Long Beach community, emphasizing its long-standing positive impact, recent achievements in patient safety, and commitment to addressing public inquiries with due respect for legal processes.

Regarding the recent verdict in a lawsuit involving a former chief nursing officer, the hospital acknowledged the court’s decision and expressed its disappointment in the outcome. SMMC stated in its press release that it does not believe the verdict reflects the services it offers to its community.

For decades, SMMC has been a cornerstone of healing and support in Long Beach. The hospital extends its mission beyond direct patient care through extensive community health initiatives, partnerships with local non-profits, and significant charitable contributions.

The hospital addresses critical community needs such as access to healthcare services, housing and homelessness, mental health support, preventive practices, and violence and injury prevention. Through programs like the CARE Center, Families in Good Health, and outreach through the mobile health unit, SMMC has invested millions annually, offering comprehensive care and resources to some of the city’s most vulnerable residents.

“Our commitment to the Long Beach community runs deep, reflecting our core values of compassion, inclusion, integrity, excellence, and collaboration,” said Carolyn Caldwell, FACHE, Hospital President. “We are immensely proud of the progressive advancement we have had on countless lives, not just through acute care, but through a holistic approach to community health and healing.”

SMMC’s focus on patient safety and quality outcomes has been recognized consistently. Most recently, the hospital earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from The Leapfrog Group for Spring 2025. This national recognition is rooted in hospital wide patient safety processes and practices, its improvement initiatives and the culture of safety embedded within the organization.

“Our focus remains on delivering exceptional, safe, and compassionate care to every patient who walks through our doors, and we stand by our commitment to the highest standards of patient safety and quality,” stated Caldwell.

“Shut It Down!” LA Harbor Officials Join Community Demands to End ICE Operations at Terminal Island

“Shut It Down!” LA Harbor Officials Join Community Demands to End ICE Operations at Terminal Island

LOS ANGELES — On July 11, a coalition of elected leaders of the Los Angeles Harbor area strongly condemned ongoing federal immigration enforcement operations using Terminal Island as a staging ground. They are calling for an immediate end to these actions and demanding that federal immigration enforcement agents including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection or CBP cease these disruptive and unlawful operations in the region.

Terminal Island, located at the Port of Los Angeles has been quietly used as a home base for federal immigration operations since the raids began. Councilmember McOsker recognized local San Pedro activist group, Harbor Area Peace Patrol, for raising awareness on this issue.

“I really am humbled to say it is the actions of our local organizing groups that really have brought I as an elected official and I think all the elected officials would agree [to] this … moment of people power leadership,” said McOsker.

Terminal Island is located at the Port of Los Angeles, the busiest container port in the Western Hemisphere. Terminal Island plays a crucial role in the goods movement infrastructure that supports the entire nation. The location was once home to a thriving fishing village where 3,000 individuals of Japanese descent were forcibly removed by the federal government in 1942 following the signing of Executive Order 9066, which McOsker acknowledged.

“Why are we on Terminal Island? We are at the Japanese Fisherman’s Memorial because it was not long ago that Terminal Island was home to a vibrant community. It was called East San Pedro and about 2 to 3,000 Japanese immigrants and Japanese Americans by merit of their birth lived, worked, prayed, played right here 85 years ago. When the United States entered World War II and even before the executive order by President Roosevelt, officials descended upon this island and illegally and unconstitutionally deprived … residents and citizens on this island of their due process rights.”

Here again history repeats itself. Officials and community groups at the press conference warned that ICE and CBP on this site have been directly linked to raids and the detention of immigrants in cities across LA County.

The group issued a clear call:

ICE off of Terminal Island.

ICE out of Los Angeles.

Watch the video here: Immigration Enforcement Use of Terminal Island Press Conference 7/11/25

“The message is clear–Get off the island,” said Councilmember Tim McOsker. “The LA City Council is united with the Mayor, with County leadership, with our State legislators, and with our community leaders, in that we will not be complicit in the unconstitutional actions of ICE and CBP. The Constitution holds everyone accountable, including the federal agencies that are staging on Terminal Island, to accord due process under the law and to respect the protections to which everyone in the United States is entitled. Without those assurances today, we want ICE off Terminal Island.”

“This Administration is trying to break our economy, our sovereignty, and our spirit,” said Council President Marqueece Harrison Dawson (8th District). “By using this land that Japanese and Japanese-Americans were violently forced off of in 1942 as a staging ground for ICE they are trying to send a message. We heard it and our message back is hands off our land, our people, and our economy.”

“I was in a bipartisan Bible study with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. I’ve told her that she needs to go back and read her Bible. The violent attacks that her agents are launching on communities across LA County from right here on Terminal Island are ripping families and communities apart,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn. “Our communities need and deserve to go about their daily lives again, and we can’t do that while these masked thugs continue to terrorize our immigrant neighbors.”

“ICE agents working in the shadows do not belong in the San Pedro Bay. I join my colleagues, elected officials and community-based leaders alike, to demand a stop,” said Assemblymember Mike A. Gipson (D-Carson). “I proudly champion the many immigrant populations of the Harbor and, in my capacity as an Assemblymember, chair the Select Committee on Ports and Goods Movement. Make no mistake: Terminal Island is part of our port complex, and it serves a critical national infrastructure purpose – but Trump’s campaign of terror and deportations is not part of that purpose.”

“We want ICE out of Terminal Island. ICE is going after hard working immigrants and their families, not criminals. They are being rounded up and incarcerated like the Japanese Americans who once lived on Terminal Island more than 80 years ago – hard-working immigrants who were scapegoated and wrongfully accused of being a threat to national security. As Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, I am fighting to keep ICE out of California public schools, and today, I join the fight to get ICE out of Terminal Island. Terminal Island should never again become a symbol of injustice,” said Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi, who represents San Pedro and the South Bay.

Ports Briefs: Tariff ‘Whipsaw Effect’ Brings POLA New Cargo Record and POLB Kicks Off Terminal Expansion

 

Tariff ‘Whipsaw Effect’ Boosts June Cargo to New Record at Port of Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES — The Port of Los Angeles handled 892,340 Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in June, 8% more than last year. It was the busiest June in the 117-year history of the Port of Los Angeles.

“Some importers are bringing in year-end holiday cargo now ahead of potential higher tariffs later in the year,” said Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka. “July may be our peak season month as retailers and manufacturers bring orders in earlier than usual, then brace for trade uncertainty.

“Meanwhile, the Port of Los Angeles closed its fiscal year on June 30, ending the period handling 10.5 million TEUs,” Seroka added. “That marks our third fiscal year exceeding 10 million TEUs, the only Western Hemisphere port to do so. And this time we reached that mark without a single vessel backed up.”

Bobby Djavaheri, President of Yedi Houseware, a family-owned business in Los Angeles, joined Seroka for the briefing. Djavaheri discussed the impacts tariffs have had on small and mid-sized businesses.

June 2025 loaded imports came in at 470,450 TEUs, 10% more than last year. Loaded exports landed at 126,144 TEUs, a 3% improvement from 2024. The Port processed 295,746 empty container units, 7% more than last year.

After six months in 2025, the Port of Los Angeles has handled 4,955,812TEUs, 5% more than the same period in 2024.

 

Terminal Expansion Gets Underway at Port of Long Beach

International Transportation Service or ITS, July 11, “broke ground” on a terminal expansion project at the Port of Long Beach, aimed at developing more space to stack cargo containers and maximizing efficiency.

By filling an unneeded slip in the middle of the Pier G terminal, the $365 million project will create 19 acres of new land. ITS will also build a single, continuous wharf measuring 3,400 feet, allowing it to simultaneously host two of the industry’s largest cargo ships.

“ITS’ commitment to further greening its operations, increasing capacity and strengthening its ties to the Port of Long Beach is even stronger than it was nearly 20 years ago, when it became our first to sign a green lease,” said Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero. “By ‘building more America now,’ ITS is also building more land for the Port of Long Beach while expanding capacity and driving efficiency on its terminal.”

Located in the outer harbor, the ITS terminal is nearly divided in half by the south slip, which will be filled with about 2.5 million cubic yards of reused sediment from within the Harbor District in addition to sediments dredged from Newport Harbor at Newport Beach. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

45,000 Grocery Workers at Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions Vote Yes to Ratify New Contracts

 

LOS ANGELES — Members of United Food and Commercial Workers or UFCW Locals 135, 324, 770, 1167, 1428 and 1442 July 11 voted to ratify a new three-year contract with Ralphs, a subsidiary of Kroger, and Albertsons (Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions). The contracts were reached after months of negotiations and active participation from thousands of Southern California grocery workers.

The six UFCW Locals released the following statement:

“The journey to contract ratification saw a record turnout of grocery workers, customers, and community members, all fighting for the same thing – better stores, better lives, better communities. They fought to ensure that grocery workers could feed their own families and afford health benefits and a dignified retirement at the end of a long career. They also fought for more staffing to improve the customer experience at their stores.

“Their fight took to the streets where they organized numerous rallies and marches that showed their power. It took to their stores where they stood up and demonstrated their unity by signing petitions and wearing buttons. Grocery workers also joined with customers in the fight for better staffing, talking to over 3,000 customers about their shopping experiences and sharing their feedback with these companies that can afford to do better. These actions built the strength needed to reach this agreement. Only by rising up together were grocery workers able to make a change in their workplaces that will benefit all grocery workers and customers in the future.”

Key provisions of the agreement include:

Substantial wage increases

A new supplemental pension plan to help workers in their retirement

Increased healthcare benefit contributions and faster healthcare eligibility for new hires

Staffing language that includes the union in evaluating reasonable staffing levels that address efficient operation of the store, the health and safety of employees, and the quality of customer service

This contract will go into effect immediately for over 45,000 essential grocery workers in Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions locations across Southern California.

Background

The UFCW California locals represent over 45,000 grocery workers across Central and Southern California. These workers are employed at Ralphs, Albertsons, Vons, and Pavilions. Visit the campaign at www.groceryworkersrising.org.

Workers’ separate contracts with Ralphs and Albertsons expired March 2, 2025.

Workers at Stater Bros., Gelson’s, Super A, and El Super stores in Southern California are currently negotiating similar terms with their employers.

Art Exhibition: Robin Jack Sarner — Anamnesis: Remembering What We Forgot to Be

Anamnesis: Remembering What We Forgot to Be is a solo exhibition by artist Robin Jack

Sarner, exploring the layered relationship between memory, material and the self.

Through an intuitively constructed body of mixed media paintings, Sarner invites viewers to consider the quiet, persistent presence of the original soul, the self that existed before the world intervened.

Employing gesture, color, texture, and historical ephemera, Sarner builds contemplative visual narratives that bridge past and present. The use of deteriorating materials and antiquated objects embodies both fragility and endurance, inviting nostalgia and a sense of childhood memories.

At the heart of this exhibition lies a question both personal and universal: What does it mean to return to the self we were always meant to be? Anamnesis becomes an emotional plea to remember what we once knew but were made to forget.

LA County Leaders Denounce Federal Policy as Cruel Attack on Immigrant Access to Lifesaving Health Services

LA County Leaders Denounce Federal Policy as Cruel Attack on Immigrant Access to Lifesaving Health Services

Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director, LA County Public Health, Dr. Christina Ghaly, director, LA County Health Services and Dr. Lisa Wong, director, LA County Mental Health Services respectively, on July 11 made the following statement.

We are deeply saddened by the federal administration’s decision to bar undocumented Californians from accessing critical federally funded health and social service programs.

At LA County’s health departments, we are guided by the fundamental belief that health care is a human right and essential for the well-being of all people. We stand united in our commitment to ensuring that every person — regardless of immigration status — can seek the healthcare services they need without fear or barriers.

This new federal policy threatens to undermine that mission. The changes announced will have a massive impact on physical health, mental health, and substance use programs run by our departments and delivered through our valued and trusted community clinic and community partners. These programs are lifelines for individuals and families, and restricting access risks not only worsening health outcomes, but also deepening systemic inequities across our communities.

When people are afraid to seek care — or are blocked from accessing it altogether —prevention opportunities are limited, illnesses go untreated, mental health crises escalate, and substance use disorders worsen. Delayed care can lead to higher rates of emergency room visits, hospitalizations, homelessness, and the spread of communicable diseases. Ultimately, denying people the ability to receive timely care threatens the health of entire communities, not just those directly affected.

Moreover, this action will have a chilling effect on all patients seeking care, including U.S. citizens, spreading fear and uncertainty that keep people from accessing services that protect both individual and public health. It will also strain public and private providers’ ability to fund and sustain the services our communities rely on to stay healthy.

We are actively working to understand the full impact of this policy for LA County Health Services, Public Health, and Mental Health, and we remain steadfast in our dedication to care for all who need us. We urge federal leaders to reconsider policies that deny health care to vulnerable members of our communities and instead prioritize the health, dignity, and humanity of every person.

Letters to the Editor: “City of San Pedro?” Faux News Fumbles, ICE Theater, and the Plastic Politics of Kristi Noem

City of San Pedro?
San Pedro needs to be its own city with a mayor and city council, just like Lomita, Gardena, etc.

We have a great history, a unique multicultural population, and we are proud to be from San Pedro.

Los Angeles is too big; they keep the Harbor and Terminal Island. The rest is in San Pedro, the original boundary from the cemetery to South Shores. Take back the neighborhoods RPV took from us.

Maybe start a petition. We have a lot of smart and talented people here. I am not one of them. But I will help.

Faux News Lies
If Fox News wants to lie to the American people on Donald Trump’s behalf, they should face consequences — just like they did in the Dominion case.

Earlier this month, Fox News host Jesse Watters falsely claimed I lied about a call with Trump. That’s not just wrong, it’s defamatory.

If Fox and Jesse Watters do the right thing and correct the record, I’ll drop the lawsuit.

But until they’re willing to tell the truth, I’ll keep fighting back against their propaganda machine. This goes beyond setting the record straight. It’s about holding right wing media outlets accountable when they knowingly mislead the public.

Lies have consequences, and I won’t let Fox News get away with this one.

Gavin Newsom, Gov. State of California

ICE Show in MacArthur Park
Monday morning, I went to MacArthur Park, where I saw federal agents, military vehicles, and federalized troops – another example of the administration ratcheting up the chaos by deploying what looked like a military operation in our American city. It is very important to me that the truth be told to the American people about what happened here: children were at summer camp when federal agents descended on the park. What I saw today looked like a city under siege and under occupation.

To have armored vehicles deployed on the streets of our city, to federalize the National Guard, to have the U.S. Marines who are trained to kill abroad, deployed to our city – all of this is outrageous and it is un-American. It’s clear that this is all part of a political agenda to terrorize immigrants and signal that they need to stay at home when there are entire sectors of our economy that rely on immigrant workers.

The White House is continuing its all-out assault on our American city, and the administration continues to try to silence us with threats of arrest, lawsuits and funding cuts.

I will continue to tell the truth. And all of us in LA will continue to stand together, with our unity only growing stronger.

Mayor Karen Bass
Los Angeles

Plastic Surgery Disaster Kristi Noem
Haven’t you noticed how that neo-Nazi nutbag numbskull Kristi Noem (R-SD) looks exactly like an anorexic, bulimic version of Marie Osmond? Do those two share the same incompetent, overpaid plastic surgeon?

Speaking of expensive incompetence, “Homeland Security” (a departmental name taken directly from the Republican Party’s favorite fascist dictator after the tangerine tyrant Trump, Adolf Hitler) is nothing but a gigantic joke under the asinine auspices of that right-wing Trumptarded trollop Kristi Noem. Crazy Kristi is far too busy with her own personal criminality collecting bribes and payoffs to actually perform the public position that you and I are paying corrupt Kristi a six-figure salary plus perks for.

And conservative crackpot jagoff jezebel Kristi Noem is of course preoccupied with performing fellatio and other decidedly unChristian perverted sex acts on her also-married boy toy Corey Lewandowski who is also cheating on his spouse! Praise Jesus. When do we get to hear crying cheater Kristi Noem’s tear-strewn, sobbing speech Jimmy Swaggart style, saying she has sinned against God? (Let alone against Mrs. Noem’s cuckolded husband back home in snowy South Dakota.)

Then there’s the as of yet unexplained recent visit to the hospital emergency room by Secretary Noem (R-stands for racist) due to her so-called “allergic reaction”. Yeah, right. It’s more like her new plastic surgery produced Marie Osmond lookalike face is being rejected by the rest of her slutty body.
