This is the second time the City has opted for an expensive outside vendor instead of using our Office. While cost of living continues to rise in LA pushing more ppl into homelessness, and future homelessness funds are at risk, the City spends money it does not have on outside contractors.

How much is the City of LA considering paying for an outside monitor on local homeless efforts instead of having our Office do it for FREE? 🤔 AT LEAST $560,000 OR $800 PER HOUR FOR 700 HOURS (MAX) OF WORK! This diverts funds from essential services during financial hardship.
