Los Angeles seeks to rehouse homeless population
Homelessness is an issue that could hurt the Democratic Party in next month's US presidential election. The problem is especially serious in Democratic candidate Kamala Harris's home state of California, which has one third of the country's homeless: 181,000 people in that state alone. Republicans have often criticised their rivals for being too lax on the issue. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom has vowed to speed up the dismantling of encampments and is threatening to cut off public funds to towns that refuse to do so. But in some cities, like Los Angeles, authorities are doing their best to find more permanent housing for the homeless. FRANCE 24's Pierrick Leurent and Valérie Defert report, with Wassim Cornet.
