As Los Angeles is roiled by a humanitarian crisis on its streets, one of the city’s richest residents, Hollywood executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, has begun meeting with local officials to understand homelessness better and to offer some ideas about how he might help.
In recent weeks, Katzenberg has discussed the issue with several members of the Los Angeles City Council, as well as aides to Mayor Eric Garcetti, raising questions about how he might influence homelessness policy and whether he intends to bankroll efforts to get people off the streets.
It’s partly been a listening tour for Katzenberg, who has deep pockets and has donated to countless politicians at the local, state and national level. But he also came with a message, according to three people who spoke with him: People are angry about what’s playing out on the city’s streets and want change.

MONTCLAIR, N.J. – Councilor-at-Large Peter Yacobellis announced Wednesday the Montclair LGBTQ Equality Agenda for 2021 which seeks to update some Township policies and laws over the month of June, to be enacted by summer. Administrative changes have been recently completed. Proposed ordinances and resolution are scheduled for initial consideration at June Township Council meetings.
“Since coming into office, I’ve had deep and thorough conversations with our Township staff and my colleagues on the Council and have found the incredible support you would expect to see in Montclair to move this Equality Agenda forward. As the first openly LGBTQ person elected in Montclair, it is a top priority for me to make sure Montclair is the model community, in every way, for LGBTQ equality. I want to thank Mayor Spiller for his partnership and all of my colleagues for this support,” said Councilman Yacobellis.
