Housing Committee Meeting Recordings
Key Updates from Housing Committee Meeting, May 23, 2025
Time-Limited Subsidies (TLS) Funding Pause
As of April 11, new TLS enrollments are paused across LA County due to major funding cuts.
This impacts rapid rehousing efforts, especially for individuals already approved for or expecting housing.
The pause significantly reduces permanent housing options for individuals and families, including those who are undocumented.
Closure of Access Centers
LAHSA-funded Access Centers for single adults are scheduled to close by July 1 unless new funding is secured.
These centers are critical access points for unhoused individuals seeking support.
Discussions are ongoing to potentially extend funding for an additional six months.
Impact on Justice-Involved Individuals
The Community Safety Implementation Team (CSIT) is currently focused on moving people out of LA County jails into the newly expected influx of available community beds for people with serious mental health conditions, and overseeing funding from Proposition 1.
While some of Measure J (Care First Community Investment) funded housing programs remain intact, the broader housing system disruptions (TLS and access center closures) affect many reentry populations.
Challenges remain with placing incarcerated individuals into housing upon release due to "gatekeeping" and funding restrictions.
County Homeless Services Department Formation
A new LA County department focused on homelessness is set to launch January 1, 2026.
This department will assume major responsibilities from LAHSA and needs strong reentry sector input during its planning and implementation phases
