The Homeless Initiative is the central coordinating body for the County’s ongoing effort to expand and enhance services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. It currently oversees the County’s response to the homelessness emergency declared by the Board of Supervisors in early 2023, including Pathway Home.

The Homeless Initiative’s Draft Funding Recommendations for Fiscal Year 2025-26, which begins on July 1st, 2025, are intended to maximize the impact of resources by anchoring investments to a framework to end homelessness that focuses on:

  • Increasing permanent housing placements
  • Moving people from street to housing more effectively
  • Serving people with complex challenges who face barriers exiting homelessness
  • Expanding collaborations with cities and Councils of Governments (COGs)
  • Investing in efforts to prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place


The Los Angeles County (County) Homeless Initiative will host a webinar about the Draft Funding Recommendations for addressing and preventing homelessness in Fiscal Year 2025-26 as originally scheduled on Thursday, January 16th.

We are proceeding with the webinar to ensure that there are no gaps in delivery of services to clients or funding for providers. The webinar video will be posted in full along with additional supplemental materials on the Homeless Initiative website for those who are unable to attend.
