Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass Feels Heat From Feds Over Millions in Stolen and Laundered ‘Homeless’ Funds
PJ Media ^ | 09/16/2026 | Victoria Taft

The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) laundered more than $75 million for charlatans, cheaters, and thieves, at least one of whom used more than $1 million of the more than $110 million in homeless funds he received to open a nightclub.

And it's no wonder that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who's running for reelection, smelled trouble and quit her membership in and control over LAHSA before the feds announced indictments on Wednesday.

Karen Bass suddenly stepped down from LAHSA a few days ago. Today, HUD Secretary Turner just revealed that $75M of fraud was laundered through LAHSA.

Nearly a year ago, the guy who should be the U.S. attorney in the Central District of California but isn't thanks to Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) announced indictments against some major players in a massive fraud against taxpayers who have funded the dysfunctional homeless industrial complex in the city of Los Angeles.

Here's what Bill Essayli said at the time at a presser announcing the indictments  of two people who worked with Los Angeles-approved homeless nongovernmental organizations (NGOs):

[W]e will be seeking charges against anyone who steals this money or misrepresents how it's being used. This also includes public officials who may have enriched themselves at taxpayers expenses contributing to the fraud that we're seeing. We're looking at everyone. If you steal money or allow it to be stolen, we will find you and we will prosecute you [emphasis added].

Well, folks, it looks like it's getting a little hot in here at the old Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), which coordinates housing and social services for the homeless in Los Angeles County.

Keep the pressure on Bass. If push comes to shove, put her derrière behind bars for fraud and corruption. Newscum can join her.

You’d think the heat from the Palisades fires would have done this beyotch in. She’s untouchable because she’s black and a RAT.

She has no idea what you’re talking about. She was out of town with all that went down.

Amazing, is it not , that a card carrying Communist trained in Cuba is actually the mayor of Los Angeles? No surprise that she came up with a way to steal the election from Spencer Pratt. That is what Communists do.
