Homelessness · LAHSA
What does LAHSA spend, and who funds it?
LAHSA's adopted FY2026-27 budget is $496.6M, of which the City of LA provides $363.4M (73%) and LA County $20.4M (4%); its Commission adopted it on Jul 24, 2026.
$1.2B in City homelessness payments, FY2023-24 to FY2025-26.
FY2026-27 to date adds a further $65.8M. This is City of LA payments only, as recorded in the Controller's Homelessness Expense Tracker: payments from City departments to LAHSA, housing developers, legal aid, Inside Safe operators and Prop HHH projects. It does not include County, State or Federal money that reaches LAHSA or providers directly. LAHSA's own adopted budget for FY2026-27, from all funders, is $496.6M (see Section 04).
FY2023-24 includes about $200M in Prop HHH construction draws; HHH payments in the tracker have declined each year since.
Month by month, FY2026-27 to date

HUD system performance measures, FY2024
Continuum-of-Care measures reported to HUD for Oct 2023 – Sep 2024. Each CoC reports on its own programs and population, so differences reflect local housing markets and program mix as well as performance.

The checkbook names the paying department, the fund and the account for each payment line. It files 100.0% under the program “Strategic Planning and Policy Development” and <0.1% under the program “Program Unknown”, so the account is the most detailed description of what each payment was for.

A payment is one transaction ID in the checkbook (an electronic transfer or a check), which can span several account lines. One payment totalling $31.1M was issued and then cancelled during the year; the checkbook records the cancellation under the same ID, so it nets to zero and is not counted here.
Only the City-to-LAHSA leg. These are payments from the City to LAHSA. LAHSA's payments onward to individual service providers are not published by the City, so they do not appear in the checkbook or here.
These totals differ from the City homelessness payments in Section 01, which come from the Controller's homelessness expense tracker, a separate dataset that covers every homelessness payee, not only LAHSA.
LAHSA's budget and the homeless count, side by side
LAHSA's budget from all funders peaked at $912.8M in FY2025-26 and is $496.6M in FY2026-27 (-46%), as LA County's new Department of Homeless Services and Housing moved to contract with providers directly. The countywide estimate went from 75,518 in 2023 to 73,040 in 2026. The budget is money passed through to providers and the count is a one-night estimate; neither measures program outcomes.
LAHSA budget (bars) and countywide homeless count (line), by fiscal year
Each January count is paired with the LAHSA fiscal year that contains it (the January 2026 count sits in FY2025-26). Budget basis varies by year: audited revenue, mid-year budget, adopted budget.
| Fiscal year | LAHSA budget | Budget basis | Countywide count (January) | City of LA count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2022-23 (January 2023 count) | Not shown | not re-verified | 75,518 | 46,260 |
| FY2023-24 (January 2024 count) | $730.0M | audited grant revenue | 75,312 | 45,251 |
| FY2024-25 (January 2025 count) | $810.2M | audited grant revenue | 72,195 | 43,695 |
| FY2025-26 (January 2026 count) | $912.8M | mid-year budget | 73,040 | 45,194 |
| FY2026-27 (January 2027 count) | $496.6M | adopted budget | Not yet released | — |
Each row pairs a January point-in-time count with the LAHSA fiscal year that contains it (e.g. the January 2024 count with FY2023-24). The budget is a pass-through of City, County, State and Federal money and the count is a one-night estimate; neither measures outcomes. Budget rows before FY2023-24 were removed in 2026-09 because they had no re-verified source.

City homelessness allocations, FY2026-27
The CAO's FY2026-27 Annual Homelessness Funding Report recommended $281.9M in allocations from 5 funding sources to LAHSA and 10 City departments and offices; LAHSA's share is $237.7M (84%).
Scope: these are the report's non-base allocations (State HHAP, County Measure A local solutions funds, some General Fund). They supplement the adopted budget and are not the City's full homelessness budget, which the adopted FY2026-27 budget puts at about $788M (see /budget-2027). The report does not break LAHSA's share down by provider.

LAHSA passes most of its budget to service providers: in its adopted FY2026-27 budget, $426.9M of $496.6M (86%) is budgeted for service providers. LAHSA does not publish amounts by provider, so the trail of City dollars ends at LAHSA in public data.
LAHSA's $496.6M FY2026-27 budget
LAHSA's Commission adopted a $496,618,462 budget for FY2026-27 on July 24, 2026, down 46% from the FY2025-26 mid-year budget of $912.8M. This is LAHSA's agency budget from all funders. It is a different figure from the City's own homelessness budget (Section 05).
Who funds LAHSA?
The City of LA provides 73% of the adopted budget.

The City's $417.8M CAO-overseen homelessness budget, FY2025-26
This is the City of Los Angeles's FY2025-26 homelessness budget under CAO oversight, not LAHSA's budget: it pays City departments, LAHSA and other contractors. It covers the programs in the CAO's February 2026 cost-savings report, not every City homelessness appropriation. The projections in part D were made in February 2026, before the FY2026-27 budget was adopted.
The adopted FY2026-27 City budget puts total homelessness funding at about $788M. At adoption the Council reduced Inside Safe (Homelessness Emergency) by $22.0M to $76.7M and the Alliance settlement line by $19.4M to $38.9M, and lowered the assumed County reimbursement for Alliance beds by $40.9M. Details are on /budget-2027.

Large providers in the 2026 housing inventory
11 large homeless-services providers and the 23,201 beds and units listed under their names in LAHSA's 2026 Housing Inventory Count, by program type. Organization names are as listed in the 2026 HIC. A listing reflects the HIC's reported operator on 2026-01-21 and says nothing about current funding.
LAHSA does not publish how much it pays each provider, how many contracts each holds, or placements by provider, so this table shows capacity, not dollars or outcomes. In FY2025-26 LAHSA funded 116 service providers through 678 subawards. The City's direct payments are in the Controller's Homelessness Expense Tracker (98ve-cuf5), but most City money for these providers is paid to LAHSA first (FY2025-26: $128.8M to LAHSA) and LAHSA's subawards to providers are not in that dataset. For City payments by vendor, see the check register below.

This register shows every payment coded to homelessness programs by City departments, sourced live from the Controller's Homelessness Expense Tracker on controllerdata.lacity.org. It includes payments to LAHSA, Prop HHH construction draws, legal aid, housing developers, and City labor costs. Data spans FY2023-24 through the current fiscal year; filter by vendor or fund for totals. These are direct City payments only. What LAHSA then pays to service providers is not in this dataset, and LAHSA does not publish its provider payments at the transaction level.
What the audits found
Findings from the court-ordered Alvarez & Marsal assessment of the City's Roadmap, Alliance and Inside Safe programs (June 1, 2020 – June 30, 2024; filed May 14, 2025) and from two LA County Auditor-Controller reviews of LAHSA. Each item cites the report page it comes from.
A&M identified about $2.3B in City funding (appropriations, commitments or spending) for the three programs over the review period. It found fragmented data made it impossible to fully account for what was spent on services. The $2.3B is the scope of the review, not an amount found missing.
