As I said in my last video of one of these cleanups, the homeless epidemic is getting larger and larger. This video was taken across from the park near my house, I've even had my own encounters with transients here. On October 1st, the city launched the "CARE" and "CARE+" teams (Cleaning and Rapid Engagement) in response to the citizens who believe in services for the homeless and not cleanups. While it is thoughtful, these sweeps are needed so skid row doesn't become the whole city. The CARE team reaches out to the homeless by getting them connected to services such as affordable housing or shelters. The whole operation is led by compassion, and it's pretty great. Although the whole program is out and working, the homeless epidemic seems worse than before, and it's still growing.
Like I said earlier, this one was filmed just down the street from me. This encampment gets cleaned up at least every month, and it's one of the largest homeless encampments in Koreatown. Here's and article the LA Times did on it last year in June, it goes further in depth to my point. www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...
On a side note, please excuse my gloves getting in most of the shots. It was sunny as heck and I couldn't see much.
Anyways enjoy the video!
