Possible Committee Action: Motion to Support/Deny/ModifyInformational / Section 8 Updates [CF-18-0462]
Background - on 8/8/18, the City Council directed the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) to report "in 60 days" regarding options for adjusting the Housing Choice Voucher Program (aka Section 8 vouchers), addressing the issue of 2700 voucher holders who cannot find a place to rent. On 11/16/18 the Housing Authority submitted a report to the Council laying out a study and recommendations regarding amendments to the ordinance for the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Since that time, the report has been sent "back down" to the Council's Housing Committee for review. And that committee voted to continue the issue at their 1/23/18 meeting. Therefore, to date no Committee or Council action has been taken on the Housing Authority report.
To date, Community Impact Statements adn Publi Comment have been filed by:
