What it pays for and how it works

This approval lets the City spend up to $42,979,510 of Measure A Local Solutions Fund money to keep the City's Tiny Home Villages operating from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, the full 2025-26 fiscal year. Tiny Home Villages are interim housing sites made up of small individual shelter units with on-site services. The money pays site operations.

The CAO report (Recommendation 30.a) moves the money from the Measure A Homelessness Program account in the General City Purposes Fund (Fund 100/56, Account 000A30) to a Los Angeles Housing Department (LAHD) account for 2025-26 Tiny Home Village Operations (Fund 10A/43, Account 43CC27). Recommendation 53 instructs LAHD to amend the City's Measure A contract with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), Contract C-202658, to match. LAHSA administers the funded sites under that contract.

This is an allocation of funds, not a new contract with a named operator. The Measure A section of the report does not list individual villages, bed counts or operators. Those details are in Attachment 7 of the report. Elsewhere, the same report extends rent-free right-of-entry agreements for three Tiny Home Villages on Recreation and Parks land, at 11471 Chandler Boulevard (75 beds, Hope the Mission), 6099 Laurel Canyon Boulevard (200 beds) and 7570 N. Figueroa Street (93 beds, Hope the Mission). The report does not tie those sites to Measure A dollars.

The County pays LSF on a reimbursement basis. The City spends first and then invoices the County with expenditure and performance documentation. Recommendations 27 to 29 rescind earlier Measure A recommendations from the Annual, Second and Third FY 2025-26 funding reports, so that all FY 2025-26 Measure A funding is stated in this single report. This amount, the Homekey amount ($6,457,166) and the LAHSA administration amount ($5,492,964) add up to $54,929,640, the City's full expected FY 2025-26 LSF share. Council adopted the report on April 29, 2026, and the Mayor approved it on May 8, 2026.

Where the money comes from

Measure A is a countywide half-cent sales tax for homelessness services and affordable housing. Los Angeles County voters approved it in November 2024. It took effect April 1, 2025, and replaced the Measure H quarter-cent tax. The County describes it as generating over $1 billion a year. Sixty percent goes to Comprehensive Homelessness Services, and 15% of that share is set aside as the Local Solutions Fund (LSF) for cities, Councils of Governments and unincorporated areas (County Measure A page).

The countywide LSF is $96,363,000 for FY 2025-26, approved by the Board of Supervisors on March 25, 2025 (County Local Jurisdictions page; the April 2025 County info session lists $96,363,637 as the projection). The CAO report states the City of Los Angeles expects $54,929,640 of the LSF for FY 2025-26. The allocation formula weights 90% on a multi-year average of the Point-in-Time homeless count and 10% on Census data on families with income under $10,000 (County Local Jurisdictions page; FY 2026-27 LSF Guidelines).

For FY 2026-27 the countywide LSF is $96,967,000 and the City of Los Angeles allocation is $54,725,738 (FY 2026-27 LSF Guidelines, Table 3). The CAO report states LSF is paid on a reimbursement basis and up to 10% may be used for administration. The County Department of Homeless Services and Housing administers the LSF agreements.
