Fiscal Impacts in FY 2026-27
This year, as our region’s homeless response and housing system collectively prepares for funding reductions, shifts, and deficit scenarios across local, state and federal levels, the Department of Homeless Services and Housing needs to make hard choices about how to invest our allocation of Measure A resources and Homeless, Housing Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) funding. Please find an overview of recent funding reductions, the anticipated impacts, and how we can partner to continue serving individuals and families experiencing homelessness here.

About Measure A
A majority of the Department of Homeless Services and Housing’s annual budget comes from Measure A, a half-cent sales countywide sales tax to support housing and services for people currently experiencing homelessness while addressing prevention.
Passed by a majority of voters in November 2024, Measure A repealed and replaced Measure H, the quarter-cent sales tax for County homeless services that was set to expire in 2027, on April 1, 2025.
