BID Safe Team Helps Capture Burglary Suspect
A burglary suspect was observed entering the building at 777 E 10th Street by a private Security Officer on Friday, June 13, 2014. The suspect could be heard breaking locks in the building. The building Security Officer contacted the BID Safe Team who arrived at the location, immediately set up a perimeter around building and notified LAPD. LAPD arrived at the location and prepared to enter the building. As they walked over to the entrance the suspect walked out of the building and was arrested. LAPD then checked the building. During their check of the building they noticed 3 pad locks had been cut off but due to other interior doors the suspect was unable to gain entry into the businesses. LAPD Officers De La Torre and Flores then advised us the suspect would be transferred to LAPD Newton Division for booking.
Home for Good Task Force talks with USICH on National Homelessness Policy
On June 19, 2014 we met Laura Green Zeilinger, President Obama's head of homeless policy, and Matthew Doherty, Regional Coordinator Team Leader from the US Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH). They shared information on national efforts and programs including "Opening Doors" and the "25 Cities initiative". The group also discussed the Mayor's Challenge and work Home For Good is currently doing to create a partnership with Mayor Garcetti.
USICH is working on forming a partnership with "Joining Forces" to develop a gap funding exchange that will be piloted in a few cities in the coming year, including LA. Funding will include move-in assistance for veterans.
Efforts to house the homeless in Los Angeles are now being used as national model for other cities to learn and build from.
