More than 250 tax-funded LA apartments sit empty under key Mayor Bass homelessness strategy

More than 250 tax-funded apartments in Los Angeles remain vacant under Mayor Karen Bass's master leasing strategy to address homelessness, with vacancy rates nearly four times higher than San Francisco's. Taxpayers continue to fund these empty units, drawing criticism from officials including L.A. County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who called the situation a 'moral failure.'
