It’s official: L.A. has lost at least $2.3 billion through the “Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority” from FYs 2021 – 2024

According to Docket 871: THE ALVAREZ AND MARSAL (A&M) ASSESSMENT OF LOS ANGELES CITY HOMELESSNESS PROGRAMS (March 06, 2025) finds that:

Dkt 870 AM DraftDownload

“As discussed in detail throughout this report, due to the manner in which the City recorded expenditures for homelessness assistance services ($2.3 billion), A&M was unable to completely quantify the total amount spent by the City for each component of the City Programs using the data provided. Multiple funding sources and allocations across various City departments resulted in fragmented accounting records. A&M identified that the City and LAHSA did not initially provide all requested financial data, prompting A&M to make multiple efforts to identify, trace, and reconcile relevant data as it was produced to A&M. Further, A&M relied on the financial data produced by the City and LAHSA, as A&M did not have direct access to the financial information systems. Therefore, since the City and LAHSA were unable to identify and calculate the relevant expenses for all City Programs, A&M was unable to quantify the total amount of money spent to establish the beds and provide associated supportive services.”

From the Pasadena Community Job Center and the Day Laborer Network this past Wednesday, January 15th:

Most of all, one volunteer notes that sheets, blankets, pillows, and other items used to cover and protect a mattress are at the top of the list for the Center at this time:

“Bedding is our absolute most needed item. We just can’t seem to have enough!”
