Motion by Supervisor Mitchell

Supporting Fresh Food Access at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Medical

Campus

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Mitchell: Find, pursuant to

Government Code section 26227, that the portion of the County’s Martin

Luther King Jr. Medical Campus proposed for the farmers market is not

currently needed for exclusive County purposes during the specified

Wednesdays and hours of market operation, which will be defined in the

market license agreement. Find that the services to be provided by

Sustainable Economic Enterprises of Los Angeles (SEE-LA) are necessary

to meet the social needs of County residents and serve a public purpose by

increasing access to fresh, affordable food in a community with the

County’s highest rates of food insecurity and diabetes. Direct the Chief

Executive Officer (CEO), or his designee, in consultation with the Director of

LA Health Services (LAHS), to waive the day-use permit fee of $200 per

market day for the duration of the market’s license term, not to exceed 55

market days per year. Delegate authority to the CEO, or his designee, in

coordination with the Director of LAHS, to negotiate, execute, and issue a

gratis license agreement to SEE-LA within 60 days, for a two-year term, for

the operation of a farmers' market at the County-owned Martin Luther King

Jr. Medical Campus. Authorize the CEO, or his designee, to execute

ancillary documentation, and to take any other actions necessary and

appropriate to implement and effectuate the market license. Find that the

Motion by Supervisor Horvath

Protecting Residents and Communities from Unlawful Practices at

Non-Clinical Recovery Residences

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Direct County

Counsel, in consultation with the Director of Public Health’s Substance

Abuse Prevention and Control Program, the District Attorney, the Directors

of Consumer and Business Affairs, Regional Planning, and Public Works,

the Fire Chief, the Sheriff, other relevant County Departments, and

engagement with community stakeholders, including substance use

providers and individuals with lived experience, report back in writing to the

Board in 120 days with a coordinated, risk-based protocol for addressing

alleged unlawful conduct by non-clinical recovery residences, within their

respective jurisdictional authorities, including procedures for coordinating

with and referring matters to the appropriate local, State, or Federal

enforcement authority. The protocol and any recommended options shall be

consistent with the Federal Fair Housing Act, the Americans with

Disabilities Act, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, and

shall target unlawful conduct rather than the disability status of residents.

The protocol should include, but not limited to the following:

Complaint System: Provide details and recommendations to improve

existing complaint systems that receive, document, and route

allegations to the appropriate local, State, or Federal enforcement

authority.

Safeguards for Referrals: Within existing resources, develop uniform

safeguards for privately operated, recovery residences that

County-operated and County-contracted providers make referrals to.

Enforcement: Analyze enforcement criteria and make

recommendations to improve existing business, building, fire, zoning,

property-maintenance, consumer-protection, contracting, labor, and

public-nuisance laws, as well as coordination with applicable State

and Federal enforcement authorities. This analysis should identify the

jurisdiction and responsibilities of relevant agencies and recommend

procedures for interagency coordination, information sharing, and

referrals, including referral of suspected unlicensed recovery or

treatment services to the California Department of Health Care

Services and referral of appropriate consumer-fraud, insurance-fraud,

or criminal matters to the responsible enforcement authority. The

analysis should include, but not limited to the following:

Escalating enforcement options, as legally appropriate; and

Procedures to protect residents affected by an emergency

closure or other enforcement action, including coordination of

safe relocation, transportation, medication continuity, naloxone

access, and connection to appropriate housing or treatment

when necessary.

Identify any additional options the County has at its disposal to

regulate non-clinical recovery residences, including the pros and

cons of those options.

Outline actions that can be implemented within existing resources,

any legal or operational gaps, and any staffing or funding needs

requiring separate Board consideration. (26-6779)

Motion by Supervisor Horvath

Supporting Film and Television Production and Los Angeles County’s

Entertainment Workforce

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Direct the Chief

Executive Officer, through its Legislative Affairs and Intergovernmental

Relations Branch, to support H.R. 10582 and S. 5552, the Motion Picture,

Television, and Entertainment Revitalization Act, and similar measures that

would establish a Federal film and television production tax credit to

incentivize domestic production, protect and create American entertainment

Motion by Supervisor Horvath

Exploring Housing Strategies and Expanded Supports for

Transition-Age Youth (TAY)

Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Instruct the Interim

Director of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to report back in writing in

120 days as follows:

Explore the feasibility of expanding Project HopeBridge or a similar

model beyond Service Planning Area (SPA) 6, with a plan for a

phased implementation to the SPA with the next highest number of

unhoused Transition-Age Youth (TAY). This should include a

discussion of possible funding sources, including the Los Angeles

County Development Authority’s (LACDA) Permanent Local Housing

Allocation funding, any capacity needs, and a realistic timeline to

offer this successful program to additional young people. This report

should also include feedback from young people, including their

insights into what makes the model appealing.

In collaboration with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Director

of Internal Services Department (ISD), and County Counsel, explore

how to right-size the Transitional Housing Program-Plus (THP+)

option for former foster youth, including those who are pregnant and

parenting. This should include an examination of the number of beds

actually needed in this program and a revision of the contracting

process and contracts to the extent legally permissible and in line

with state requirements to increase flexibility and accessibility for

providers. Should the Department identify the need for additional

THP+ beds, DCFS should work with the CEO to identify funding

sources and work with the provider community to identify existing and

new providers. The revised contracting process should identify

opportunities to increase flexibility and accessibility for providers and

reduce the timeline it takes to execute a contract consistent with

applicable legal requirements. DCFS should consult with the CEO

and ISD, as well as integrate existing feedback from providers and

from various crosswalk exercises into this process, to reexamine

which requirements go above and beyond what is required by the

state and whether modifications are appropriate. The report back to

the Board must include their findings, planned next steps, and

timeline for implementation.

Direct the Office of Child, Youth, and Family Well-Being (OCYFW) to report

back in writing in 60 days as follows:

In collaboration with the Chief Information Officer (CIO), CEO, County

Counsel and the Directors of Mental Health (DMH), DCFS, Homeless

Services and Housing (HSH), Parks and Recreation (Parks), Public

Health (DPH), Economic Opportunity (DEO), and Youth Development

(DYD) with a plan to develop and implement a pilot creating a “Fast

Pass” prioritization process to prioritize navigation support for foster

youth through age 26 who are at risk of or are experiencing

homelessness, particularly those pregnant and/or parenting, for

County administered and/or funded services and supports, where

legally and regulatorily permissible. This pilot should focus on the

programs funded and/or administered by DMH, DPH, HSH, DYD,

DEO, and Parks. Once the report back has been submitted, the pilot

should be implemented.

The pilot implementation strategy should include a focus on:

Establishing and/or strengthening cross-systems

navigation and referral processes, including establishing

clear points of contact and strengthening “warm handoff”

practices to support continuity of care. This should also

include building feedback loops with young people and

being responsive to youth needs, such as after-hours

supports.

This may include community-based care

coordination models similar to those already

implemented by DYD.

This should also include setting expectations

around referral times and include a mechanism for

self-referral for young people who may not

currently be connected to a system.

Developing trauma-informed methods to identify youth

and young people not directly referred by a department.

This should include establishing a secure verification

process with DCFS to confirm current/former foster

youth status, where necessary, without stigmatizing the

young person.

Leveraging existing County data-sharing initiatives, such

as the Community Information Exchange, the

Countywide Information Hub, and consent-based data

sharing tools to advance Fast Pass implementation

goals, including consistent identification across systems.

This should include coordinating with HSH to ensure

alignment with ongoing youth homelessness system

work to avoid creating a parallel pathway disconnected

from existing homeless services infrastructure.

Strategies and metrics to track pilot outcomes, including

referral times, youth experience, services needed and

whether the pilot helps young people secure supports

faster.

Before implementing a Fast Pass process for any specific

program attached to a particular funding stream, law, or

regulation, departments should work with County Counsel to

ensure that doing so is legally permissible.

Instruct the following Directors to report back as follows:

HSH, in partnership with OCYFW, DCFS, DMH, the Director of Public

Social Services (DPSS), LACDA, and the Director of the Justice,

Care, and Opportunities Department, complete a mapping of the TAY

Housing Continuum of Care. This analysis should include a summary

of system-wide resources, eligibility requirements, referral access,

entry points, opportunities for case conferencing, funding streams

attached to each particular resource, and how County Departments

could be better connecting and aligning efforts to support TAY. This

work should include the perspective of the community-based

organizations that do this work. A discussion of this analysis should

be included in the quarterly HSH updates to the Board

CEO and CIO to report back in 30 days on the status of their work to

improve data sharing and support care coordination while ensuring

that individuals maintain control over their information. The report

should include updates and implementation timelines for the following

and identification of any barriers:

Strengthening consent-based information sharing;

Standardizing authorization forms that allow youth and young

adults to consent to the sharing of health and social services

information across participating departments and providers;

Plan for continuing to support young people who chose not to

consent to data sharing;

The development of an electronic consent management

system that will clarify what information can be shared, with

whom, and under what conditions; and

Integration of referral-tracking mechanisms.

The Director of HSH to work with the Los Angeles County Affordable

Housing Solutions Agency (LACAHSA) to explore how to align

services, resources and supports for TAY, and report back in writing

in 30 days on those efforts.

The Director of DPSS to report back in 60 days on the following:

Estimated cost of implementing a “fast pass” system through

any of the DPSS access points;

The feasibility of having Linkages GAIN Social Workers, or

another appropriate County classification, connect former

foster youth or youth exiting foster care to DPSS services. If

this is determined to not be feasible, identify alternative

strategies for connecting former youth to DPSS services;

Opportunities for DPSS to enhance its role in helping former

foster youth access benefits and services, including expanding

trauma-informed and cross-system training for staff;

strengthening partnerships with community-based

organizations; improving coordination with housing and

workforce programs; and exploring enhancements to existing

business processes to reduce procedural barriers. In this

report, DPSS should include details about each of these

opportunities and identify any potential barriers to

implementation, including any associated funding needs; and

Estimated costs of expanding the Springboard Guaranteed

Income Program for General Relief TAYs, which supports

housing needs, beyond their current 400 slots, in consultation

with CEO-Poverty Alleviation Initiative.

The CEO to report back in writing as a part of the FY 2027-28

recommended budget with sources of ongoing funding for the

Department of Youth Development’s “My Life, My Way” program for

three years in the amount of $2,000,000 annually for a total of

$6,000,000 beginning in the FY 2027-28 budget.

Instruct the Director of Youth Development (DYD), in collaboration with

HSH, to move forward with launching the “My Life, My Way Program”

described in their May 18, 2026 report back so that it can be implemented

as soon as funding is identified. This three-year demonstration project

should be focused on young people ages 21-26 who are former foster youth

not receiving housing services from HSH and no longer connected to a

social worker for case management support. This program should be

designed to align with HSH’s TAY work to ensure that we are leveraging all

available resources to support young people with foster care history.

Instruct the Director of Mental Health (DMH) to report back in 60 days with

the following:

A proposal to prioritize foster youth and recent former foster youth for

TAY designated Interim Housing Program (IHP) beds, in consultation

with DCFS. This proposal should include all legal and programmatic

requirements and limitations, the proposed definition of former foster

youth, best practices and trauma informed questioning about former

foster youth status, how foster youth status would be collected, a

timeline for implementation as soon as possible and the possibility of

incorporating the data element into the DMH IHP system;

How current and former foster youth in DMH’s housing program,

including the Enhanced Emergency Shelter Program (EESP), are

connected to the broader youth housing continuum of care; and

A plan to coordinate among Full-Service Partnership (FSP) providers

and Youth Access Center providers at the regional level to ensure

facilitation of referrals and connection to the FSP program,

coordination of care and crisis response when services are medically

necessary. This report should also include a plan to assign DMH

directly operated or contracted staff to co-locate Youth Access

Centers to assess youth participants for care and to facilitate direct

connection to mental health services. (26-6781)
