Should city governments have more control over data and resource management for local homelessness programs?
The Los Angeles Continuum of Care general membership will vote on the final two administrative roles for the Homeless Management Information System and Coordinated Entry System this Monday. This decision follows the previous allocation of two roles to the county earlier this month.
Why it matters
The vote follows a suspension of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority by federal housing officials due to allegations of fraud. The city is seeking increased control over its own housing placements and data management.
The Los Angeles Continuum of Care must determine four total administrative roles for its management systems. The membership has already assigned two roles to the county, leaving two positions to be decided in the upcoming vote.
The players
Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority
This agency is currently suspended from accessing federal funds by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development department.
U.S. Housing and Urban Development
This federal department oversees housing policy and suspended the local services authority over allegations of fraud and misuse of taxpayer funding.
The details
The city and county reached an agreement on data sharing and technical training following the suspension of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. Under this arrangement, the county will fund system training for city staff and manage the Coordinated Entry System for city-funded resources.
Timeline
Earlier this month, the general membership awarded two administrative roles to the county.
The general membership vote on the final administrative roles takes place on Monday afternoon.
A court hearing to resolve the final determination of the four roles is scheduled for Tuesday.
Political Context
This leadership vote follows the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development suspension protocols which halted federal funding to the local authority. Critics argue this federal intervention undermines regional coordination while proponents claim it is a necessary check on taxpayer fund misuse.
Residents may see changes in how city homelessness programs and housing initiatives are managed as the city gains more control over data. These shifts in administrative oversight aim to impact the placement process for individuals experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles.
The takeaway
The upcoming vote marks a significant change in how the city manages homelessness data systems. Local stakeholders should monitor the court proceedings on Tuesday, as the final ruling will dictate which agency oversees critical housing resources.
