Los Angeles, CA<\/strong> (March 25, 2025)<\/strong>\u2013 Today, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the spending plan<\/a>\u00a0for voter-approved Measure A tax dollars which, for the first time, includes substantial funding going directly to local cities to address homelessness. The board unanimously approved an amendment by Supervisor Janice Hahn which changed the formula for how funding will be divided between cities and ensured the most cities will receive the most amount of funding possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to voters, our county\u2019s 88 cities will finally have direct, reliable funding to address the unique homeless crises facing their communities with the solutions that work best for their residents,\u201d\u00a0said Supervisor Janice Hahn.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cBut just because this is new, doesn\u2019t mean we should start small. I want to get our cities the most amount of funding possible so they can start strong, make a difference in unsheltered homelessness, and be real partners in this work with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Measure A, the half-cent sales tax approved in November 2024 to fund homelessness services and housing, requires at least 15% of the County\u2019s funding allocation to go to local cities as part of a local solutions fund. \u00a0The Board was originally presented with six possible formulas for how the local solutions fund would be divided between cities with a recommendation to choose Formula 6. However, after hearing concerns from cities, Hahn put forward an amendment (co-authored by Supervisor Hilda Solis) which was unanimously adopted to use Formula 4 and increases the amount of funding going to 67 of the county\u2019s 88 cities and the unincorporated areas.\u00a0 Formula 4 allocates 10% of funding using the number of households in the city living in poverty and the remaining 90% based on the two most recent homeless count results.<\/p>\n

In total, the cities in Supervisor Hahn\u2019s Fourth District will receive over $12.2 million this year from the Local Solutions Fund. The funds can be spent on work such as prevention, mental healthcare, outreach, and housing.\u00a0Importantly, cities will also receive substantially more funding for housing preservation and development in a separate Measure A allocation later this year.<\/u><\/em>\u00a0\u00a0Below is a breakdown of the Local Solutions Fund going to each city in the Fourth District:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
