Starting Tuesday, Los Angeles County residents will face a new quarter percent sales tax increase primarily aimed at enhancing funding for county-run homeless services. This increase follows the approval of Measure A by voters, which replaces the earlier Measure H, set to expire in 2027. The increased revenue is anticipated to exceed $1 billion annually and will focus on critical areas such as affordable housing and transition services for the homeless. Approximately 60% of the funding will directly support these efforts, including a dedicated innovation fund.
The new sales tax increase in Los Angeles County, effective Tuesday, aims to support homeless services and has a projected annual generation of over $1 billion.
With the passage of Measure A, voters have opted to replace an expiring sales tax meant for homeless services with a higher rate to continue funding initiatives.
Measure A is designed to address the rising homelessness in Los Angeles by not only maintaining but enhancing funding for affordable housing and additional services.
The allocation of proceeds from Measure A includes significant funding for city-level initiatives as well as an innovation fund to explore new solutions to homelessness.
