City report shows progress but shortfall on Alliance roadmap; committee hears district disparities
Summary
City staff reported progress on the city/county Alliance roadmap for homeless interventions but said the city remains short of the target and that some council districts trail others. Staff attributed gains to newly included sites such as Insight Safe and said district‑level targets may be met on staggered timelines.
Los Angeles City staff told the Council’s Homelessness and Housing committee on June 1 that the city has made measurable progress under the Alliance roadmap but remains short of the target number of shelter and interim interventions required under the city’s resolution with the county and court oversight.
The briefing said the city’s target under the resolution is to create 12,319 interventions (shelter/bed units) by June 13, 2027. As of the March 31, 2025 report cited to the committee, staff reported 11,002 beds or units either opened or in progress, leaving a reported shortfall of 1,913 interventions. Staff said the net increase from the prior quarterly report was driven largely by adding Insight Safe sites (1,558 units) and other city‑identified sites.
Staff stressed that the resolution sets a citywide target and that the city is not required to meet every district‑level subtarget to be compliant, but it does ask the city to distribute interventions equitably across districts. The report noted that Council District 8 had reached its target, and staff projected that several other districts (Districts 1, 3, 6 and 13) would reach their targets in 2024–27 on staggered timelines.
Councilmembers asked staff to be proactive in flagging district‑level projects that could move the city toward the target. Councilmember Bloomenfield suggested the Department of Housing should "raise the flag" about projects in each district so the council office can help resolve cross‑agency barriers. Staff agreed that better interagency coordination and clearer communication to council offices could help accelerate openings.
Why it matters: The Alliance roadmap figures are used internally and by the court to measure progress toward commitments on shelter and interim interventions. Falling behind the target may affect the city’s ability to obtain certain funding and can shape negotiations with the county and other entities.

Committee action
The committee received and filed the Alliance progress report. Committee members asked staff to return with updated district trackers and to coordinate with LHD and other agencies to surface projects where council offices can help remove obstacles.
Ending: Staff said they will work on a more detailed district‑level tracker and return to the committee with options to close the remaining gap.
