Mayor Karen Bass has been remarkably active in recent days, tackling everything from environmental wins to housing recovery efforts. Just this week on November 25th, Mayor Bass announced that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power captured nearly five point five billion gallons of stormwater during recent November rains—enough to serve almost 68,000 LA households annually. This represents a major achievement in the city's sustainability efforts, with LADWP officials noting they're working toward an ambitious 48.9 billion gallon annual capacity by 2035.

On the housing front, the Mayor has been pushing hard for relief for residents impacted by January's devastating wildfires. Around November 18th, Bass called on major banks to provide extended mortgage relief to homeowners affected by those fires. She also celebrated the first Certificate of Occupancy issued for a home being rebuilt in Pacific Palisades—a symbolic moment in the recovery process.

The Mayor's schedule has been packed with community engagements. On November 17th, she addressed the Windsor Square Association at their annual town hall meeting at The Ebell, discussing public safety and community concerns with neighbors. Just days earlier on November 6th, she served as keynote speaker at the LA Fashion District's annual meeting, focusing on the revitalization of Downtown LA.

Bass also marked a significant milestone on November 19th, highlighting that there are now exactly 1,000 days until the 2028 Paralympic Games, emphasizing the city's commitment to delivering an accessible Games for all participants.

On the federal level, the Mayor has been vocal about immigration enforcement issues. Alongside Congressman Garcia, she led a Congressional hearing on November 24th to investigate unlawful detention practices during immigration enforcement actions in Los Angeles, shining a spotlight on cases involving both U.S. citizens and immigrants.

In personnel news, Bass swore in the new Los Angeles Fire Chief Jaime Moore on November 14th, marking an important leadership transition for the department.

Throughout these developments, whether addressing water infrastructure, housing recovery, or federal immigration enforcement, Mayor Bass continues demonstrating her focus on the city's most pressing challenges while maintaining visibility across diverse community sectors.
