Will Homeless Clean up Work in California? | Traci Park | Dane White | Greg Anglea

Most cities in California have been impacted by homelessness. Recently, a Supreme Court ruling granted local governments the authority to clean up encampments. We sat down with Los Angeles City Councilwoman Traci Park to discuss what this ruling means for her city and how the city plans to navigate this issue.

“There are a lot of unanswered questions, and as a matter of policy, we need to get it right. Otherwise, I’m concerned that problems here in LA could actually get worse,” says Park.

We also spoke with Dane White, mayor of Escondido, one of the first cities in California to ban homeless encampments. He shares his personal experiences with homelessness and how they shaped his approach to policy.

“I’m of the mindset that jail is not good rehab for people on drugs, but we’ve created a situation where there are no alternatives. I was given the choice: jail or rehab,” says White.

Additionally, we talked to Greg Anglea, CEO of Interfaith Community Services, an organization that assists over 20,000 homeless individuals annually. Join us as we explore the future of homelessness in the Golden State and whether the Supreme Court decision could be a turning point in addressing the crisis.
