LAHSA announced it will lay off 284 employees by June 30, 2026, as Los Angeles County withdraws more than $300 million in annual funding and shifts homelessness services to its new Department of Homeless Services and Housing, marking a major restructuring of the agency. The layoffs, which are part of a broader elimination of 414 positions including vacant roles, reflect LAHSA’s reduced future scope, which will focus mainly on system governance, federal funding, the homeless count, and city contracting rather than broader countywide oversight. The move follows years of criticism over financial mismanagement, failed oversight, disputed homelessness counts, and leadership instability, including audits that found serious deficiencies and weak accountability. Despite those issues, LAHSA leadership emphasized the agency’s recent accomplishments, including housing nearly 80,000 people over three years and reported declines in homelessness, while noting that some staffing decisions may still depend on the City of Los Angeles’ final budget.
