Overview
- LAHSA approved a standardized Scope of Required Services and authorized 11 providers to replicate the approach across the city, with no start date announced.
- The District 7 pilot is on track to house nearly 300 people and has removed about 150 RVs, focusing on trust-building to overcome skepticism among RV residents.
- West Valley Homes Yes helped design the model, which offers targeted outreach, paperwork support, interim housing placements, and incentives to relinquish RVs.
- Funding cited includes an initial Hilton Foundation grant and a $5 million state Encampment Resolution Grant, with reports conflicting on the Hilton amount ($350,000 versus an uncorroborated $350 million).
- A new state law taking effect in January will speed disposal of impounded RVs valued up to $4,000, which city leaders are evaluating for use alongside the program.
