A new proposal aims to create a dedicated department for homelessness in Los Angeles County, fundamentally changing how billions of dollars in aid are administered.
The proposal comes in response to long-standing dissatisfaction with existing programs, with intentions of consolidating efforts under a new department for better efficiency.
The current joint authority, LAHSA, would have its functions reduced to essentials mandated by federal law, while a new department handles the bulk of homelessness services.
LAHSA's Chief Executive welcomes the proposal, emphasizing collaboration with the county to reform the current agency instead of shutting it down.
