Bass claimed that the Inside Safe “strategy” and “system” would eventually end the homeless crisis in LA, but in order to make strides, wealthy residents would need to “speed up” their charitable efforts.

“Right now, we’re working to move past nightly rentals,” Bass said on the city increasing efforts to move homeless into temporary housing. “We are asking the most fortunate Angelenos to participate in this effort, with personal, private sector and philanthropic funds – to help us acquire more properties, lower the cost of capital and speed up housing.”
