洛杉矶市与县达成初步协议：市府将直接安排无家可归者入住市资助住房
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市市长卡伦·巴斯（Karen Bass）10月27日宣布，洛杉矶市已与洛杉矶县就一项新安排达成初步协议：市政府将可直接把无家可归者安置进由市府出资建造的永久支持性住房与可负担住房，不再完全经由县级系统分配。市府表示，目前市资助住房单元中约91%提供给全县各地的住户，洛杉矶市本地无家可归者没有优先权，新协议将改变这一做法。
市议员伊萨贝尔·胡拉多（Ysabel Jurado）提出的动议指示市行政官办公室起草一份有约束力的协议，明确把无家可归者管理信息系统（HMIS）与协调入住系统（CES）过渡到洛杉矶县无家可归者问题连续服务体（LACOC）框架下的具体条款。LACOC覆盖全县85个城市与县政府。
巴斯表示，洛杉矶市在四年内已建成一万多套可负担住房，另有约五万套在筹备管线中，住房供给增加后，安置规则必须跟上。她说，市府出资的住房应当首先服务洛杉矶市街头无家可归的居民。
市议会主席马奎斯·哈里斯-道森（Marqueece Harris-Dawson）与议员帕迪利亚（Imelda Padilla）、麦科斯克（Tim McOsker）等人在声明中支持这一方向，认为市县两级系统衔接更直接，可以缩短无家可归者等待安置的时间。
市府同时公布「Inside Safe」计划的最新数字：该计划已把6,200多人从帐篷营地接进室内住所，开展约150次营地清理安置行动；市府的街头医疗团队在不到两年内完成两万多次患者探访。
市府表示，正式协议文本仍在起草中，完成后须经市议会与县监事会各自批准生效。
Los Angeles, California: City Reaches Tentative Deal With County to Directly Place Unhoused Angelenos Into City-Funded Housing
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced on October 27 that the City of Los Angeles, in Los Angeles County, California, has reached a tentative agreement with Los Angeles County under which the city will directly administer placement of unhoused people into permanent supportive and affordable housing funded by the city. Under the current system, about 91 percent of city-funded housing units offered to unhoused people are assigned to households from across the county, with no preference for Angelenos.
A motion by Councilmember Ysabel Jurado directs the City Administrative Officer to draft a binding agreement setting out how the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and the Coordinated Entry System (CES) will transition under the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (LACOC), the framework covering the county's 85 cities and the county government.
Bass said Los Angeles has built more than 10,000 affordable homes in four years, with about 50,000 more in the pipeline, and that placement rules must keep pace with that supply. City-funded housing, she said, should first serve people living on the streets of Los Angeles.
Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson and Councilmembers Imelda Padilla and Tim McOsker voiced support for the new direction in statements, saying a more direct city-county link can shorten the time unhoused residents wait for placement.
The city also released updated figures for its Inside Safe program, which has brought more than 6,200 people indoors through roughly 150 encampment operations, and for its street medicine teams, which have logged more than 20,000 patient visits in under two years.
The city said the formal agreement is still being drafted and will require approval by both the City Council and the County Board of Supervisors before taking effect.
