Inside Safe Houses 33 Angelenos in Two Same-Day Operations From Venice to the Valley
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass's office announced on November 9 that the Inside Safe team completed two operations on Thursday, November 5, bringing 33 Angelenos experiencing homelessness into safe, stable housing. In Venice, 15 people and 4 pets were brought inside near Park Avenue and Speedway; in Sylmar in the San Fernando Valley, another 18 people and 6 pets were housed near Hubbard Street and Gladstone Avenue.
The two efforts were Inside Safe's 147th and 148th operations, and the team connected several people who needed accessibility support to ADA-accessible housing and services. To date, Inside Safe has brought more than 6,600 unsheltered Angelenos into interim housing and removed more than 200 RVs from city streets; in Council District 11, which includes Venice, more than 300 people have been brought inside.
Mayor Bass said Inside Safe has always been about the people, resolving encampments neighborhood by neighborhood from Venice to the Valley. Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez noted the Sylmar operation was the second in Council District 7 in five weeks. The Mayor's office added that more than 10,000 units of affordable housing have been built across Los Angeles under Bass, alongside executive actions and legislation to streamline affordable housing approvals.
