LA Mayor Karen Bass wants to move 17,000 unhoused residents from tent cities to hotels rooms and eventually to permanent housing by next year.

For the next two years, Sens lived at the Grand Hotel, his daily life consumed by waiting for aSens' new life was also isolating: Residents weren't allowed to gather in hallways or the lobby — even in groups of two — and everyone had to eat meals alone in their room. If a resident broke the rules, they were kicked out of the hotel, Sens said.

"There's this air of, 'We know what's best for everyone,' but in actuality it's just a bunch of chaos," Sens said."It's just a bunch of frustrated people because the people that are in charge aren't being in charge. They're just getting by with doing the least amount possible." throughout LA. Bass said outreach to encampments is effective because police are not directly involved and because officials come with immediate offers of motel rooms.“We’re trying to get people housed. We’re not punishing people for being poor," Bass said.
