Homeless encampment in Hollywood returns after being cleared by city

HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Eyewitness News has learned a homeless encampment under the 101 Freeway at Cahuenga Boulevard has returned after it was cleared by the city of Los Angeles' Inside Safe program.

The encampment was one of the first areas to be cleared as part of Mayor Karen Bass' initiative, which aims to bring unhoused people indoors.

The mayor's office sent Eyewitness News a statement on the encampment, saying the Inside Safe team is working on getting the individuals housing.

"Inside Safe monitors the locations of all operations to prevent encampments from returning and offers housing and services to people who move into the area," read the statement. The Inside Safe Field Intervention Team identified the repopulation, will continue to engage with them, and is working to secure the necessary interim housing to outreach to the individuals that are now at Cahuenga/101."
