FY 2026-27 Approved Measure A Spending Plan
On February 3, 2026, the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the $843 million Spending Plan for the Los Angeles County Department of Homeless Services and Housing (HSH) in fiscal year 2026-27, prioritizing core programs and services that have proven most effective in reducing homelessness with a focus on serving disproportionately impacted populations, including families, youth, and survivors of domestic violence.
This Spending Plan is funded with $659.9 million in anticipated voter-approved tax revenue from Measure A, $62.8 million from one-time Measure A carryover, $48.4 million from one-time Measure H carryover, and $72.5 million in State Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) grant dollars.
The plan funds significant investments in housing with $277 million for interim housing and nearly $239 million for permanent housing across the County. The budget includes Measure A funding for:
- 65 to deploy specialized outreach and engagement countywide, providing nearly 16,000 engagements with people experiencing unsheltered homelessness annually.
- 3,671 Time-Limited Subsidies to quickly provide housing support to people who have recently fallen into homelessness.
- 3,675 locally-funded rental subsidies to support people in permanent supportive housing.

- 6,185 interim housing beds to bring people off the streets and safely indoors as quickly as possible.
- Homelessness prevention support for:
- 750 households through the Homelessness Prevention Unit, which uses predictive analytics to identify and support clients at the highest risk of homelessness.
- 500 youth through the Youth Homelessness and Prevention Program, a new initiative to provide direct housing assistance for youth at higher risk of long-term homelessness.
- 4,200 applications and appeals to connect people at risk of or experiencing homelessness with benefits advocacy services, including 1,200 applications and appeals for veterans.
- $16 million in investments mandated by Measure A and essential to system oversight, transparency, and equity tracking.
