LOS ANGELES—Mayor Eric Garcetti joined a coalition of mayors from California’s 13 largest cities April 29 in calling on state officials to provide cities with $20 billion over five years to address the statewide homeless crisis.

“This is the biggest crisis in California. We see it on our underpasses and overpasses, we see it under our bridges, and unfortunately, it’s not just there anymore in the shadows, it’s in front of businesses and homes, it is everywhere,'' Garcetti said.
