The coalition of supporters includes more than 80 organizations such as the L.A. County Federation of Labor, California Community Foundation, United Way of Greater Los Angeles, Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council, SEIU 721, among others.

County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO called the joint efforts to get signatures “an incredible achievement,” adding, “The Housing and Homeless Solution Measure will build affordable housing for workers and for all income levels across the county.”
Before the board voted, Supervisor Hilda Solis rattled off a list of projects and services that have been funded through Measure H — countering claims by some critics who say there’s no accounting for how the money is being spent.
