"Los Angeles County's decision to withdraw funding from LAHSA raises significant questions about the future of the agency and the city's role in addressing homelessness."
"Mayor Karen Bass has emphasized the need for change while also cautioning against a rapid withdrawal from LAHSA, which could jeopardize recent progress in reducing unsheltered homelessness."
Los Angeles County will withdraw most of its funding from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) effective July 1, making the city its primary funder. This decision follows years of criticism regarding LAHSA's oversight of homeless programs. Mayor Karen Bass and City Council members propose reforms to gain majority control over LAHSA's oversight board and enhance authority over administrative functions. The city aims to balance maintaining the agency's support while implementing necessary changes to improve homeless services.
