What the members said

29:59Homelessness and LAHSA
I understand the snapshot, but the details. This is how much we owe, this is how long we owe for each service provider and how long it’s— because this is what I’m hearing from service providers, that they’re owed money from LAHSA, all right?Justin SzlasaCommissioner · LAHSA Commission · Sep 25, 2026Open the meeting at 29:59

5:30Homelessness and LAHSAWe are facing significant headwinds from the uncertainty surrounding federal funding to the broader challenges facing our homeless response system.
Stephanie GravesCommissioner · LAHSA Commission · Aug 28, 2026Open the meeting at 5:30
35:42Homelessness and LAHSAAdministrative functions are not dollar for dollar. That’s why it’s so problematic. And in terms of the stepping up for the investment, no one’s letting HMIS go. It’s not federally allowed. It also— we can’t run the homeless service system without it.
Amy PerkinsCommissioner · LAHSA Commission · Aug 5, 2026Open the meeting at 35:42
