US EditionA Federal Judge Weighs Turning LA City's Homelessness Programs over to a Receiver
- U.S. District Judge David Carter recently held a critical hearing to determine if a receiver should be installed to oversee Los Angeles’ homelessness programs.
- The hearing followed allegations that the city breached 2020 and 2022 settlement agreements requiring nearly 20,000 housing solutions and encampment removals amid a worsening homeless crisis.
- An independent audit costing over $3 million found the city's homelessness system disjointed with unreliable data and financial controls vulnerable to waste and fraud.
- LA Alliance attorney Matthew Umhofer called the system 'broken' and demanding judicial action, while the judge gave Mayor Karen Bass until May 2025 to fix the problem or face receivership.
- The outcome may strip City Hall of oversight over roughly $1 billion in annual homelessness spending and reshape the city's approach to its growing population of about 75,000 homeless individuals.
