(CNN)The White House has sent a team to California this week for "fact finding" and "learning more about the crisis" of homelessness in Los Angeles, a White House official confirms.
The administration is particularly interested in the shortage of affordable housing and exploring how to lift regulations for development, the White House official said. The Washington Post was first to report on the Trump team heading to Los Angeles.
The move comes in the midst of Trump's long-standing rocky relationship with California, with the President clashing with the Golden State over not only homelessness but also his spot on the California 2020 ballot and his false claims about state voter fraud.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's staff took Trump administration officials on a tour Tuesday "to learn more about the city's response to the homelessness crisis," the mayor's office said in a statement.
