Important Information About Your Housing Assistance Payments
This notice provides important information about upcoming changes to the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program that may affect ICMS participants. Case managers should review this information and share it with participants receiving EHV assistance.
Update: Eligible HCV Participants have been transitioned to HCV under LACDA or HACLA. Scroll down to learn more.
All Eligible EHV Participants Transitioned to HCV
The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) and the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) announced a major regional victory in the effort to prevent homelessness: the successful transition of all eligible Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) households into the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program. This proactive, coordinated strategy will ensure that more than 4,000 households—including 2,700 HACLA families and 1,500 LACDA families—remain safely housed as federal EHV funding sunsets later this year.
Transition to HCV under HACLA or LACDA
HACLA and LACDA’s coordinated approach ensures that EHV participants will continue receiving rental assistance through the HCV Program as long as they remain eligible. By preventing the loss of nearly 4,000 housing placements, Los Angeles avoids a devastating setback that could have reversed local gains in reducing homelessness—maintaining momentum at a time when stability is critical.
Moving Forward
HACLA and LACDA will continue to collaborate closely with partners across the region to ensure that families remain housed and supported through this transition, and that the region’s progress toward reducing homelessness continues uninterrupted.
