Los Angeles moves to audit its homeless programs as state rolls out audit of top-down look at state discrepancies of tracking how funds on homelessness are spent.
In the same week that Gov. Gavin Newsom's council on homelessness blamed local governments for a state audit report that found California has failed to track how billions of dollars have been spent trying to tackle the homelessness crisis, the Los Angeles City Council agreed to pay an outside firm $2.2 million to audit its own programs. A federal judge in California, U.S. District Judge David O.
Conway said the audit will provide 'an unprecedented look into spending and outcomes of homeless services, with implications about how local, state and federal dollars are used.' 'With five unhoused people dying every day on the streets of LA, Angelenos deserve answers,' he said. According to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority , the city's main hub for homeless services, more than 75,500 people were considered homeless in 2023, a 9% increase countywide.
Meanwhile, LAHSA's 2022-2023 budget totaled around $845.4 million, with $726.2 million going to service providers. About $662 million was earmarked for housing, according to LAHSA's financial documents. Just over $40 million went to LAHSA administration. Despite more taxpayer dollars at work, the homeless population continues to rise in the Golden State. It's up 6%, compared to last year, and has the highest number of homeless people living outdoors in the country.
