Homeless Budget




           State Grants
           In addition to General Fund and special fund allocations included within the Proposed Budget, the State of California awarded the
           City of Los Angeles three homeless grants, the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program (HHAP), HHAP 2, and
           HHAP 3.
              The City was awarded a HHAP grant of $117,562,500 in March 2020. The HHAP is a one-time formula grant to provide immediate
              assistance to people experiencing homelessness. These funds will be used to support A Bridge Home (interim housing)
              construction and operations, prevention and diversion, rapid rehousing, outreach, hygiene facilities, and other services. 50
              percent of these funds must be obligated by May 31, 2023; and 100 percent expended by June 30, 2025.
              The City was awarded HHAP-2 grant funding in the amount of $55,575,000 in January 2021. These funds will be used to support
              COVID-19 Homelessness Roadmap operations, A Bridge Home operations, outreach, public health services, hygiene facilities,
              programs for youth experiencing homelessness or at-risk of being homeless, and other services. 50 percent of these funds must
              be obligated by May 31, 2023; and 100 percent expended by June 30, 2026.

              The City will apply for HHAP-3 grant funding in the amount of $143,640,000 in June 2022 . An initial disbursement of $28,728,000
              has already been received by the City and it is anticipated that the City will receive the remainder no later than December 2022.
              These funds will be used to support COVID-19 Homelessness Roadmap operations, A Bridge Home operations, outreach, public
              health services, hygiene facilities, programs for youth experiencing homelessness or at-risk of being homeless, and other
              services. 50 percent of these funds must be obligated by May 31, 2024; and 100 percent expended by June 30, 2026. The City is
              collaborating with the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority to establish program goals.
