Los Angeles County Supervisors are calling for a county-run homeless department after a recent audit found that the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority was having a number of issues, including the handling of funding provided for direct response to the homeless crisis.
The audit, which was requested by Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath in February, had its results publicly released on Tuesday, revealing that tens of millions of taxpayer dollars cannot be accounted for and that the county cannot correctly monitor where large amounts of cash are going.
While LAHSA officials have disagreed with many of the issues laid out by the audit, they acknowledged that others have been recognized already. They said that some of the recommendations made by the auditor were already in the process of being implemented. Despite this, Supervisor Horvath is now planning to bring a motion forward that would make homeless response in a county-run department.
