洛杉矶无家可归者治理大会开场两分钟散会，市府与县府争权白热化
一场决定洛杉矶地区无家可归者服务未来走向的关键会议，10月9日上午开场仅约两分钟就草草散会。组织方未能容纳到场的大批民众，投票被迫推迟，市府与县府围绕无家可归者治理权的争夺进一步公开化。
这场洛杉矶「持续照护体系」（Continuum of Care）全体会员大会，原计划审议一项极具争议的提案：将洛杉矶无家可归者服务局（LAHSA）掌握的关键行政职能，移交给洛杉矶县政府。LAHSA是1993年成立的市县联合机构，长期负责统筹地区无家可归者项目与联邦资金，近年因运作效率与资金使用问题备受审查。
会议流产后，市长凯伦·巴斯（Karen Bass）与市议会议长马基斯·哈里斯-道森（Marqueece Harris-Dawson）、市议员伊莎贝尔·胡拉多（Ysabel Jurado）、蒂姆·麦科斯克（Tim McOsker）、伊梅尔达·帕迪拉（Imelda Padilla）发表联合声明，批评组织方「没有为大量观众做好充分准备」。「洛杉矶人希望在无家可归者服务的未来中有发言权，而他们今天被噤声了，」声明写道。
声明还直指核心分歧：市府每年投入数亿美元建设住房，却对「谁住进这些房子」缺乏足够话语权。「市府必须能够把我们自己街道上的人，安置进我们出资建造的住房里，这样才能解决无家可归危机，」五位官员表示。他们主张市县共治，而非由县府单独接管。
县府方面则通过声明反驳，称市府本就决定市府出资床位的安置去向，即使移交也不会改变；县监事林赛·霍瓦特（Lindsey Horvath）10月10日表示，县方已承诺至少保留市府现有的数据库与「协调入口」系统访问权。与此同时，该体系还在联邦法院与住房与城市发展部（HUD）就地方控制权打官司，HUD希望绕过地方流程、让服务机构直接向华盛顿申请拨款。
据本地媒体MyNewsLA（10月9日）与Mar Vista Voice（10月10日）报道，投票推迟后，市县双方的谈判仍在继续，而数以万计露宿街头的洛杉矶人，仍在等待一个能真正运转的治理方案。
LA Homelessness Governance Meeting Collapses After Two Minutes as City-County Power Struggle Escalates
A pivotal meeting that was supposed to decide the future of homelessness governance in the Los Angeles region collapsed about two minutes after it began on the morning of October 9. Organizers failed to accommodate a large crowd, forcing a vote postponement and pushing the city-county power struggle over homelessness services further into the open.
The Los Angeles Continuum of Care general membership meeting was expected to take up a controversial proposal: transferring key administrative functions from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) to Los Angeles County. LAHSA, a joint city-county agency created in 1993, has long coordinated regional homelessness programs and federal funding but has faced years of scrutiny over efficiency and spending.
After the breakdown, Mayor Karen Bass, Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Councilmembers Ysabel Jurado, Tim McOsker and Imelda Padilla issued a joint statement criticizing organizers for not planning adequately for a large audience. "Angelenos want a voice in the future of homelessness services, and they were silenced today," the statement said.
The statement went to the heart of the dispute: the city spends hundreds of millions of dollars building housing but lacks sufficient say over who occupies those units. "The City must be able to help the people on our own streets by placing them into the housing that we build and fund in order to solve the homelessness crisis," the five officials said, calling for shared city-county oversight rather than a county takeover.
The county pushed back in a statement, arguing the city already decides placements into city-funded beds and would continue to do so. Supervisor Lindsey Horvath said on October 10 the county had committed to preserving, at minimum, the city's existing access to the database and coordinated-entry system. Meanwhile, the regional system is also fighting HUD in federal court over local control, as the housing department seeks to let providers apply directly to Washington, bypassing the local process.
According to local outlets MyNewsLA (Oct. 9) and Mar Vista Voice (Oct. 10), negotiations continue after the postponed vote — while tens of thousands of Angelenos sleeping on the streets wait for a governance system that actually works.
