LOS ANGELES—A federal judge said on March 27 that he does not trust figures that the city of Los Angeles is receiving from homeless service providers and has “grave doubts” about efforts to monitor the programs.
The federal court hearing was called by U.S. District Judge David Carter to discuss the bleak picture painted by an independent consulting firm that spent a year trying to track expenditures for three programs designed to help the homeless living on the streets of Los Angeles.
