Federal Government Pauses Funding To Los Angeles Homeless Agency Citing Fraud Allegations

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by City News Service via The Epoch Times, The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on June 11 suspended federal funding to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), cutting off millions of dollars to the L.A. region, over allegations of fraud and widespread mismanagement. HUD Secretary Scott Turner testifies before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development about his department’s proposed FY2026 budget in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington on May 14, 2026. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images HUD action to suspend federal funding comes in the wake of an investigation into LAHSA, Secretary Scott Turner announced Thursday, adding that the agency has “uncovered evidence of LAHSA’s false statements and its irresponsible actions and failures,” including a lack of financial management and lack of safeguards against conflicts of interest. The Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC), led by LAHSA, has received nearly $1 billion in taxpayer dollars over the last five years. Despite federal assistance, L.A. remains the epicenter of the nation’s “drug-fueled” homeless crisis, …

Son Heung-Min on Life in Los Angeles, World Cup Expectations, and Tottenham’s Next Moves

Published by Jenni Sidey

There are already murals of you up around town, I’d say they’d have trouble forgetting any time soon. I think I can still do so much better though, you know? I know myself though, and that gives me more motivation. Speaking of the Dodgers, when did they tell you about your bobblehead night this summer? That was such a massive deal—there’s usually only one or two non-Dodgers players who get one each year. That was crazy. The players came to me and said, “Sonny, your bobblehead is coming.” And I said, “Oh, yeah? Cool.” And because I didn’t react much, they were very surprised. They were crazy angry about it, how little I responded—I didn’t understand how big a deal it is! So yeah, I’m very happy. The only big thing for me is I have to [do a first] pitch again. I need to practice, I want to do well again. Looking ahead to the World Cup, all of Korea’s group stage matches are in Mexico. That’s a tough environment to play in and …

Progressive Nithya Raman advances to November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass

Progressive Nithya Raman advances to November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass

Published by Sam Flores

Los Angeles mayoral candidates Nithya Raman and Spencer Pratt. Gina Ferazzi | Ronaldo Bolaños | Los Angeles Times | Getty Images Progressive city council member Nithya Raman has advanced to a November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, setting up an unexpected matchup between two Democrats and former political allies to run the struggling city of nearly 4 million. The outcome means Spencer Pratt, a Republican and former reality television personality from “The Hills,” is out of the running. His candidacy had drawn national attention because of his celebrity and willingness to challenge liberal governance in a city dominated by Democrats, but the buzz did not translate into enough votes to make the runoff. Raman made a last-minute entry into the race, after she had endorsed Bass for reelection. She was elected to the council with the support of the Democratic Socialists of America, and the election will test whether voters in the heavily Democratic city want to move further to the political left to address long-running problems of homelessness, buckled streets and sidewalks and climbing rent and …

World Cup gives Los Angeles a chance to showcase Olympic readiness

No matter how many times someone has been to Los Angeles, Schloessman said, she hopes that the fan zones will “drive people to places that they wouldn’t have ordinarily gone to because they haven’t heard about it.” Los Angeles has had something of a sports hosting marathon in recent years, with the Super Bowl, golf’s U.S. Open and the college football national championship all taking place there between 2022 and 2023. It’s all been building toward hosting two of the biggest sporting events in the world. “We said, ‘OK, we’ve got this run of events, and it’s all leading to the road to ’28,’” Schloessman said. “So how do we make sure that we are building on it each time and we’re not starting over? And so we said, ‘Let’s use the same team of experts across each of these events so they learn something new each time.’ We’re building a better experience each time, and we’re using what we learned the last time.” Public transit is one area where the World Cup will be …

Hermès first women’s show in Los Angeles hosted in Bel-Air

Hermès first women’s show in Los Angeles hosted in Bel-Air

Published by Sam Flores

How do you reserve your seat at an Hermès show? A Birkin bag, apparently. Even before pulling up to the Second Chapter of the Hermès women’s ready-to-wear fall-winter show in Bel-Air — the house’s first women’s show in Los Angeles — photographer Tyler Matthew Oyer was texting me photos of women at check-in clutching their Birkins in one hand, phone and ID in the other. “They are everywhere.” I took a photo of my yellow raffia bag, the handle tied with an Hermès horse scarf that once belonged to my maternal grandmother. Getting to the destination was like ascending to a parallel universe of the Getty, in similar excursion-like fashion — only instead of cable cars, we gathered into black vans with tinted windows that climbed the mountains opposite the museum. After a solid 20 minutes of winding roads, we reached the grand reveal: a butter-yellow pavilion, delectable and whimsical like a giant cake on stilts, plastered with all-caps neon signage, SILHOUETTES ON THE HORIZON. The structure, designed by Maybe Paris with Hermès creative director …

The Tao of RaiNao – Los Angeles Times

The Tao of RaiNao – Los Angeles Times

Published by Sam Flores

It’s safe to say that Naomi Ramírez, a.k.a. RaiNao, has had one of the most blessed career arcs of her generation. Bad Bunny himself called the singer-songwriter “my favorite artist from Puerto Rico” back in 2022, when she was still an up-and-coming indie promise. By 2025, she earned a feature on his Grammy-winning album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” — and elicited the screams of thousands when they sang their song “Perfumito Nuevo” together onstage during his San Juan residency shows later that summer. RaiNao’s music straddles the mystical and the commercial. Her alt-reggaeton is tinged with lyrical flourishes that oscillate between poetic and salacious in the same bar; which she occasionally follows up with jazzy asides from her tenor saxophone. Released May 25 via Rimas Entertainment, RaiNao’s sophomore LP, “Marcriá,” arrived two years after her previous effort “Capicú.” In her latest offering, the 32-year-old pivots from the darker sound of her debut, moving toward a meditative approach (in the very literal sense) to the music that colors life in the Caribbean. The name “Marcriá” is …
