The Housing and Homelessness Committee considered a motion instructing the Chief Legislative Analyst (CLA), with assistance from the City Administrative Officer (CAO), the Los Angeles Housing Department, and the City Attorney, to report to the City Council on the necessary steps to form a City Continuum of Care (CoC). This includes outlining responsibilities, authorities, structure, funding, federal compliance requirements, timing, and staffing for a city-only CoC. The current system operates within the Los Angeles City and County CoC, with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) as the lead agency. A city-only CoC would allow Los Angeles to better manage, monitor, and evaluate its investments in the homelessness response system and align programs with the City's specific needs.
