Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), City departments, Unappropriated Balance, and the General City Purposes (GCP) budget.

BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS
LA Alliance Settlement
The City of Los Angeles recently reached an agreement with the LA Alliance for Human Rights, which is pending court approval. In
the proposed agreement, the City commits to increasing the number of housing and shelter opportunities to accommodate 60 percent
of City shelter appropriate individuals based on the 2022 homeless count/Point in Time Count.
For 2022-23, the investment toward complying with the settlement is described in the table below, and where appropriate, in the
departmental and non-departmental sections that follow:

Housing Type 2022-23 Investment Number of Beds/Units Funding Sources
Interim Housing $17,487,887 326 GCP, HHAP-2, HHAP-3
Supportive Housing
Units (Prop HHH Prop HHH and HOME, and other
and Non-Prop HHH $377,090,269 2,514* funding sources
Homekey 2 PSH Prop HHH, CDBG-CV, CDBG, HOME
Units $208,064,885 928 ARP, HHAP
TOTAL $602,643,041 3,768
* The number of units is an up to amount since the investment is for projects approved in multiple Proposition HHH Project Expenditure
Plans (PEPs) with expenditures across fiscal years, including 2022-23. Other sources includes HOME Investment Partnerships Program,
and other state and federal funding sources needed to complete Proposition HHH and non-Proposition HHH units.
Proposition HHH
Proposition HHH (Prop HHH), approved by voters in November 2016, authorizes the City to issue up to $1.2 billion in General
Obligation (GO) bonds to finance the development of permanent supportive housing, affordable housing, and facilities. Permanent
Supportive Housing (PSH) units house chronically homeless and homeless households. PSH is housing combined with services,
which may include mental and health services, drug and alcohol treatment, and education and job training. GO bond proceeds may
also fund facilities that provide services to the homeless, such as service centers, health centers, shelters, storage, and shower
facilities. Bond proceeds may only be used for capital, not operations or services. Additional funding is also provided by Prop HHH
and projected expenditures include housing projects that have been included in a previously approved Prop HHH Project Expenditure
Plan (PEP). Only housing projects that are projected to execute loan agreements and are ready to start construction are included in
the PEP. Prop HHH bond issuances require Mayor and Council approval.
