Considerations Against Restructuring the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority

Credited from: LATIMES

  • The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) has been integral in coordinating homelessness services between the city and county since its inception in 1993.
  • LAHSA administers the annual point-in-time homeless count and manages most contracts for homeless services, acting as a vital intermediary for funding allocation.
  • A proposed overhaul by the county seeks to strip LAHSA of its extensive contracting roles, leaving duties primarily for counting and emergency shelter programs.
  • Despite ongoing challenges, Los Angeles city has seen a slight decrease in homelessness, contrasting with national trends, suggesting some effectiveness in LAHSA's operations.
  • Before proceeding, the Board of Supervisors must evaluate whether reforming LAHSA or creating a new agency would better address the complex needs of the homeless population.
