ICYMI: Inside Safe in Wilmington and South Central
Mayor Bass announced an Inside Safe operation in partnership with Councilmember Tim McOsker in Wilmington that addressed an encampment of more than 10 RVs and brought more than 35 people inside. The encampment was located near industrial refineries, raising serious safety concerns over the potential for fire and explosions.
Mayor Bass is locking arms with partners in all levels of government to address RV encampments. She expanded Executive Directive 3 to address RV encampments by increasing the City’s capacity to tow, store, and dismantle surrendered vehicles. She is also sponsoring state legislation that streamlines the City’s ability to lease property from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) at a reduced rate to store RVs while their former inhabitants receive services to transition into housing.

An Inside Safe operation in South Central addressed a longstanding encampment at the Gilbert Lindsay Recreation Center next to the Theresa Lindsay Senior Center. During this operation, unhoused Angelenos were brought inside and provided supportive services from the Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA), County of Los Angeles Department of Mental Health (DMH) and USC Street Medicine.
