It's time to stop treating LA's unhoused challenges like a permanent feature of our great city and time to start implementing solutions that actually work. My Bed for Every Head legislation will:

Turn vacant and underutilized federal buildings into housing - I will work with city leadership, Democrat leaders and anyone else who is focused on solutions to turn vacant federal building into supportive housing rather than sitting idle.

Redesign our shelters to meet the moment - we need to rethink how we design our shelters. A lot of unhoused people don't have access to available beds due to having pets, or not being able to keep all their possessions. This will change with new standards of sheltering with dignity.

Legislate bathroom breaks for all - a major challenge in our cities is our unhoused population often don't have access to a bathroom. I will fight for federal transit funds (In early 2024, the LA region secured nearly $900 million in federal funding for transportation and transit upgrades) to include funding for every open train station to have at least one staffed and clean restroom.

Reunite families - for unhoused who are looking to find their way home to welcoming family or friends, we will partner with individuals to confirm a safe destination and cover the cost of a ticket home. This will be paid for by re-allocating existing federal funding.

Expand mental health, addiction and medical care alongside housing - tie federal housing dollars to expanded clinics and treatment beds so people don’t just get a bed, they get the help they need.

Real spending, real outcomes - I will fight to get more of the billions allocated to our unhoused challenges as an accountable program that actually reduces our unhoused population. Additionally, I will end vacant property tax breaks that unlock new funding for real solutions without a tax increase.
