Addressing complex challenges like the homelessness crisis requires cities to work together in close collaboration with federal partners.

40,000 people sleep on the streets of Los Angeles every night.
Today, and every day, we must honor the life and legacy of Dr. King with service and action.
Happy #MLKDay!

What would Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. do about 40,000 people sleeping on the streets of Los Angeles?
Would he want them moved or arrested?
No.
He’d want them helped and housed.
Join me in honoring the life of Dr. King with action.

Young people have grown up thinking that the homelessness crisis is just simply part of living here in Los Angeles.
It hasn't always been that way — and I'm working every day to bring Angelenos together to make sure this crisis will NOT be a part of our future.
