48. Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC) Administration. $ - $ 3,492,448 $ 3,492,448
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is
the lead agency for the Los Angeles CoC, which is a
regional or local planning body that coordinates housing
and services funding for homeless families and
individuals. As the lead agency, LAHSA coordinates crisis
housing, provides critical, basic shelter for individuals and
families experiencing homelessness and in need of
immediate housing, and provides a point-of-entry into the
Coordinated Entry System. The U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development awards LAHSA with
annual grants for the CoC and the City's cash match,
along with the County of Los Angeles, continues to
leverage federal grant funds. The administration of CoC-
related programs was included in the General City
Purposes Homeless Shelter Program item in prior fiscal
years. See the Homeless Budget for a breakdown of
budgeted funds.

49. Los Angeles Homeless Count. As required by the U.S. 750,000 - 750,000

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),
local jurisdictions must conduct counts of homeless
populations every year. The Los Angeles Homeless
Services Authority coordinates the annual count of the
homeless population and an annual enumeration of
emergency systems, transitional housing units, and beds
that make up the homeless assistance systems. The
homeless count enables the City and County of Los
Angeles to compete for and receive annual grant funding
from the HUD for the delivery of homeless services.

50. Operation Healthy Streets. In 2011-12, the Los Angeles 7,201,513 (7,201,513) -
County Health Department issued a Notice of Violation to
the City regarding an immediate threat to public health
due to unsanitary conditions on the City’s sidewalks and
public areas in the Skid Row area. Since that time, and
through Operation Healthy Streets, the City has
undertaken efforts to increase outreach and street
cleaning and to provide additional services for those
experiencing homelessness in the area. In order to better
reflect LAHSA's priorities and programming, funding for
this program in 2022-23 is now incorporated into the new
General City Purposes Street Strategies item.
