The Mayor's Office conducted two Inside Safe operations that moved 33 homeless people, along with several pets, into interim housing. The operations marked the 147th and 148th Inside Safe efforts, which have moved more than 6,600 homeless people indoors since the program launched.
Why it matters
Inside Safe is the city's primary street-to-shelter program, and each operation shows how it is being applied in individual neighborhoods across Los Angeles. The continued pace of operations reflects the city's ongoing effort to address visible homelessness on its streets.
The city reports 33 people and 10 pets moved into interim housing across the two operations, with more than 6,600 people moved since Inside Safe launched. The data does not indicate how many of those placed remain housed over time.
