Jovette Cutaiar, 49, who has been homeless for five years, eats marshmallows at a homeless encampment under the 101 Freeway on Cahuenga Boulevard in Hollywood. Embers from the fire, which started at a homeless encampment, landed on a nearby apartment building, Fire Department officials said. The area is also one of the few in Los Angeles to receive a second visit from the mayor's program. Bass said two unhoused residents refused to go inside — one of them facing mental health issues, the other involved in "criminal activity." Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman, left, talks with Mayor Karen Bass at one of her campaign events at Hazeltine Park in Sherman Oaks.
