REVISE:
Strengthening Access and System Performance for Families
Experiencing Homelessness in Los Angeles County
Revised recommendation as submitted by Supervisors Hahn and
Mitchell: Instruct the Director of Homeless Services and Housing, in
consultation with…
Direct County Counsel, in consultation with the Director of
Homeless Services and Housing (HSH), to provide a
confidential legal analysis of applicable State and local law
regarding the length of time individuals and families
participating in County-funded motel voucher programs may
remain in hotels and motels, including any legal implications
associated with practices requiring participants to check out,
temporarily vacate, re-register, change rooms, or transfer
locations for the purpose of avoiding the establishment of
tenancy rights. The analysis should include a protections,
exceptions, and other legal provisions applicable to
participants in qualifying emergency motel voucher, interim
housing, or shelter programs, and assess whether such
practices are legally necessary to protect the County,
providers, and hotel and motel owners from unintended legal
or financial liability.
Instruct the Director of HSH to report back to the Board in
writing within 60 days with recommendations for any changes
to County policies, contracts, or provider requirements that
may reduce unnecessary displacement or disruption for
participants, while addressing operational considerations and
protecting the County, providers, and hotel and motel owners
from unintended legal or financial liability, consistent with
legal guidance from County Counsel. (26-5416)
