STATEMENT OF WORK

CITY OF LANCASTER

LOCAL SOLUTIONS FUND
I. Overview
Homelessness is a regional crisis. As such, one of the top priorities of the Chief Executive Office's lomeless Initiative (CEO-HI) is to continue strengthening the collaboration between the Count and diverse stakeholders, including the 88 cities in Los Angeles County. Since cities have jurisdiction over planning/land use activities and have the insight to support locally specific solutions, cities play a unique role in our countywide efforts to prevent and combat homelessness.

The City of Lancaster (City) is the fifth largest city in the County and the 32nd largest city in California, with a growing population of over 171,000 residents. Lancaster is part of the County's Service Planning Area (SPA) 1 and the Fifth Supervisorial District. Homelessness in the City is visible and life-threatening as persons sleeping in the desert struggle with extreme weather, including both subfreezing temperatures and intense heat waves. The larger crisis requires innovative, collective action to address the undesirable inflow into homelessness-especially in the family and transition-age youth population.

To increase city participation in the County's New Framework to End Homelessness, the strategic emphasis is to create co-investment opportunities that lead to an increase in cities' ability to respond at a local level to community members greatest concerns in alignment with the New Framework, while leveraging cities' unique capabilities to increase access to housing.

Information on the required deliverables for the Local Solutions Funds (LSF). Cities shall use LSF to implement activities that align with the County's New Framework to End Homelessness. The New Framework to End Homelessness outlines the following strategies for cities and COGs.

New Framework to End Homelessness Strategies
1 Coordinate Regional and Local Annual Planning
2 Prevent Infuse Problem-Solving into Local Services
3 Connect Outreach and Navigation Linked to Local Rehousing Services Co-Investment in Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) and Interim Housing
4 House
Locally Sited Time Limited Subsidies (TLS)
5 Stabilize Local Eviction and Prevention Prioritized and Linked to Formerly Homeless Residents
