More than 4,000 Los Angeles County households will remain housed as local housing agencies transition participants from the Emergency Housing Voucher program to the Housing Choice Voucher program before federal funding expires. The agencies, including the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County Development Authority, have sufficient resources to move all eligible participants.

Los Angeles officials announced that over 4,300 households in emergency housing voucher programs will transition to the permanent Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program by September 2026, preventing potential homelessness as federal pandemic funding ends. The move ensures participants can remain in their homes without additional paperwork, easing concerns about evictions.
