Karen Bass Declines House Testimony on Los Angeles Homelessness Spending
Bass’s attorney says she cannot attend the requested hearing as the House panel reviews more than $1 billion in homelessness funds.
- Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass declined to testify before the House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency examining alleged waste, fraud and abuse tied to more than $1 billion in federal homelessness funding.
- Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency, launched the inquiry last week into the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority over potential waste, fraud and abuse involving federal grants.
- Attorney David Michaelson stated the mayor is reviewing requested records while noting LAHSA operates independently; city officials report homelessness in Los Angeles has fallen about 11% since 2023.
- Burchett's office criticized Bass for declining, claiming homelessness has worsened under her leadership, while Bass credits her Inside Safe program with moving roughly 6,000 people off the streets.
- The congressional investigation remains ongoing, with Bass's office pledging to provide responsive records as the review continues. Bass has previously criticized LAHSA's past financial controls, citing problems with tracking money.
