   Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass pleaded with "the most fortunate" to help   
   fund housing for the homeless as part of a new strategy to tackle the   
   crisis during her State of the City address on Monday.   
      
   "We will not hide people but what we will do is house people," the   
   Democratic leader touted as she began her remarks on the city's struggle   
   to house over 40,000 homeless people. "The crisis on our streets is   
   nothing less than a disaster."   
      
   Bass touted the success of her signature Inside Safe program, which moved   
   over 21,000 homeless people into temporary shelters, according to The   
   Associated Press. She insisted this "strategy" and "system" moving the   
   homeless into temporary housing would eventually end the homelessness   
   crisis in Los Angeles.   
      
   Acknowledging the costliness of this endeavor, Bass asked the wealthy to   
   help "speed up" housing purchases for the homeless.

   "Right now, we're working to move past nightly rentals," she continued.   
   "We are asking the most fortunate Angelenos to participate in this effort,   
   with personal, private sector and philanthropic funds – to help us acquire   
   more properties, lower the cost of capital and speed up housing."   
      
   "This is the mission of our new capital campaign, LA4LA."   
      
   The homeless crisis has affected everyone in the city, Bass said, driving   
   away businesses and customers, costing taxpayers city resources and   
   creating safety issues.   
      
   "I will just not accept this and our city can't afford to accept it," she   
   argued.   
      
   The new program will depend on the "humanity and generosity of the private   
   sector," the Democrat added. "LA4LA can be a sea change for Los Angles, an   
   unprecedented partnership to confront this emergency, an example of   
   disrupting the status quo to build a new system to save lives."
