- Why hasn't LA released results of this year's homeless count?
Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) has not released the 2026 homeless count results due to a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) validation delay and a federal suspension of LAHSA's grant activities. A court order paused HUD's suspension, allowing LAHSA to continue operations, but the release date remains uncertain.
- Judge wants to preserve current federal funding for LA's lead homelessness agency amid legal battle
A federal judge ordered Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to propose an agreement by July 16 to maintain current funding amid a lawsuit over a frozen $150 million in grants. Judge David O. Carter set an August hearing to decide whether to block the funding freeze, which also prevents LAHSA from applying for an additional $241 million in federal grants.
