The Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) is an independent regional agency established to tackle the housing crisis. It brings together local leaders to accelerate affordable housing production, preserve existing housing, and prevent displacement across the region. Most of LACAHSA’s funding at this time comes from L.A. County Measure A, which allocates roughly $380 million annually to the agency and requires LACAHSA to spend 60% of its Measure A revenue on affordable housing creation, preservation, and ownership.
Funding is both directly administered by the agency as well as directed to 13 ‘Eligible Jurisdictions’ to directly administer programs. The jurisdictions include the largest cities, unincorporated communities, and regional councils of government. LACAHSA’s budget allocates 60% of funding to Affordable housing creation, preservation, and ownership, 30% to renter protection and homeless prevention, 5% to technical assistance, and 5% to administration and operations.
