Current take actions
Urge the Board of Supervisors to strengthen the Measure A spending plan
Los Angeles County is preparing to finalize the Measure A spending plan, which will determine how critical homelessness resources are allocated across the region. While the plan protects permanent housing, other essential parts of the system remain at risk.
Take Action and Demand Congress Protect Medicaid and Housing Funds
The Senate passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, approving steep cuts to Medicaid, homeless prevention and housing assistance programs. Since there were lots of amendments made, it has to go back through the House of Representatives before it is sent to the President.
