All too often, folks who have served their time are released from jail with no where to go and no resources to access.

That often leads to homelessness — not just in L.A. but nationwide.

It’s a cycle we must work to break and today, Congress took a big step in that direction.

The One Stop Shop Community Reentry Program Act that I introduced last year will help create resource centers supporting people transitioning out of incarceration by providing access to employment and housing services.

Thank you to my colleagues for your support.

I want to congratulate my sister in service, State Senator and soon to be United States Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager, on being elected to serve in the House of Representatives.

I have known Congresswoman-elect Kamlager for years and have seen her selfless service up close and personal.

Whether it was during her time on the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees or in the State Assembly or Senate, Congresswoman-elect Kamlager has ALWAYS fought for all Angelenos.

I look forward to seeing all she does for the good people of California's 37th District.

Our district is in good hands.

Investing in substance abuse treatment prevents homelessness.

Investing in mental health services prevents homelessness.

Thank you Secretary Becerra for joining me in L.A. and discussing how we can help our 40,000 unhoused Angelenos.

I’ve worked with Secretary Xavier Becerra on expanding mental health services, preventing homelessness, and reforming our child welfare system — and of course expanding access to health care, which is what we joined Covered California today to discuss.

Welcome home, Mr. Secretary!

As we learn more about what happened in Seoul today, my thoughts are with the Korean American community here in Los Angeles.

It was an honor to join the Vice President Kamala Harris today in Mid-City for a conversation about how we are fighting to protect the rights of women in this country.

We have never wavered. We have never equivocated.

We will continue this fight, and we will win.
