Los Angeles, Dec. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What:
The Board of Directors of the Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency
(LACAHSA) will convene on Wednesday, December 17, 2025, to vote on the allocation of $11.4 million in Measure A funding for Emergency Rental Assistance and Flexible Financial
Assistance programs serving renters across Los Angeles County.
LACAHSA is a newly created independent countywide public agency responsible for preventing homelessness and making housing more affordable.
Why this matters:
This action represents the largest single distribution of Measure A funds since voters approved the measure in November 2024—marking a major milestone in deploying new resources to prevent homelessness and stabilize housing for vulnerable residents. This tranche of funding is estimated to serve roughly 1,750 people over the next 18 months.
The proposed funding would support 9 nonprofit organizations and public agencies through
LACAHSA’s Renter Protection and Homelessness Prevention (RPHP) initiative, providing short- term assistance to households at immediate risk of eviction or homelessness due to financial hardship. Demand for assistance has been overwhelming, with applications exceeding $100 million, underscoring the urgent need for renter protections and homelessness prevention tools countywide.
Funding previously approved:
-Targeted homelessness prevention (case management, financial assistance): $8.9 million
-Eviction defense and legal services: $4.4 million
