In the years before Mayor Bass was elected, homelessness rose, housing went unbuilt, infrastructure crumbled, and LAPD shrank. Mayor Bass changed the direction on every front — producing results that break from decades of failure:
Street Homelessness Is Down 17.5 percent. Mayor Bass led the change by launching the city’s first comprehensive strategy to move people inside from encampments. In the three years of the Bass Administration, LA has achieved its first-ever back-to-back decreases in homelessness.
More Housing. Mayor Bass led unprecedented changes to expand LA’s housing plan. Her new policies are already accelerating nearly 40,000 units of housing.
Renter Protections. Mayor Bass changed the status quo by signing into the law the first improvements to the City’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance in 40 years to limit rent increases and protect tenants.
More Jobs. After more than a decade of inaction from City Hall, Mayor Bass authorized and broke ground on a new Convention Center for LA, and we are already seeing new investment as a result. She appointed a Film Czar, cut city fees and successfully urged an expanded film & TV tax credit.
More Officers, Community Policing & Lower Crime. After years of a shrinking LAPD, Mayor Bass took executive action to get more police officers hired. She created the first-ever Office of Community Safety to increase civilian crisis response and community violence intervention, and her comprehensive approach drove homicide to the lowest levels since the 1960s.
LA’s First-Ever Infrastructure Plan. Every major American city but LA uses a Comprehensive Infrastructure Plan to keep its sidewalks, streets, and street lights in good repair. Mayor Bass took executive action to create LA’s first-ever CIP, which will create a real roadmap to fix our infrastructure.
Standing Up to Trump. Mayor Bass has been in ICE's face on the streets, and she has organized Angelenos, dozens of local mayors and mayors nationally to stand against ICE and troop deployments and to stand up for our immigrants.
