UCLA Luskin lecturer Brian Levy contributed a Voices piece published in the Los Angeles Times about ongoing efforts to reduce homelessness in L.A. Levy, who formerly worked at the World Bank on initiatives to improve public sector capacity and implementation, writes that while tensions between the city and county have not been helpful, there are some promising signs. He notes that over the last nine months, public officials, as well as political and civic leaders, have collaborated to develop a road map for reducing homelessness, noting that central to this effort has been, “crafting a set of ambitious and achievable goals that can guide the region’s efforts,” and highlighted by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors endorsing three monitorable, top-line goals including specific targets for 2030. “In a fragmented governance environment like L.A.’s — and for a multifaceted problem like homelessness — goal clarification is a vital early step.”
