US EditionLos Angeles County Supervisors approve $637 million for homeless services
- On Tuesday, March 25, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $637 million budget allocation for homelessness services.
- The funding is primarily sourced from fiscal year 2025-26 Measure A Comprehensive Homelessness Services funds , one-time Measure H carryover , and the State Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program , with over $96 million designated for cities and unincorporated areas based on one of six formulas.
- The allocation decision followed several amendments and public comments, with residents voicing concerns about potential reductions in funding for new programs and youth homelessness services, and Palmdale Mayor Richard Loa, supported by a representative from Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman's office, urging reconsideration of the allocation.
- Supervisor Janice Hahn supported equity in funding for the county's 88 cities, stating, "Thanks to voters, our county's 88 cities will finally have direct, reliable funding to address the unique homeless crises facing their communities with the solutions that work best for their residents."
- Following the vote, Supervisor Horvath released a statement reflecting community frustration with the status quo, while the approved budget has underscored the need for consolidation of homelessness services into one department to improve tracking of investments and outcomes, particularly in light of recent audits revealing poor record-keeping and a lack of accountability within LAHSA.
