The County’s Regional Plan is attached as Exhibit A (Measure A Regional Plan) and incorporated herein by reference.
5.10 HIP FUND USAGE
HIP funds may be used on program components that involve an initial lease with a homeless family/individual with a voucher who is receiving permanent supportive housing assistance for the first time since their documented homelessness. A formerly homeless family/individual that changes units after their initial permanent supportive housing lease is not eligible for HIP funded activities.
Below are the descriptions of the program components allowable under the HIP:
5.10.1 Holding Fees - Landlords are offered one month’s free rent to hold their unit and consider accepting a family/individual with a voucher who needs permanent supportive housing.
• The PHA actively recruits landlords to participate in HIP by hosting landlord outreach events, and other targeted marketing efforts
• When an owner expresses interest, the PHA will inspect the unit to determine if it meets minimum housing quality standards. Once the unit passes inspection, the owner enters into an agreement with the PHA to take their unit off the open market. The owner also agrees to accept consideration, homeless individuals/families with a permanent housing subsidy.
In exchange for this commitment, the owner receives the equivalent of one -month’s rent.
The holding fee can be extended to a second month if needed to complete the leasing process.
• Units secured with holding fees are compiled in a list of available units that is shared with homeless clients in need of permanent supporting housing.
5.10.2 Sign-on Bonus - If landlords did not receive a Holding Fee, the LACDA may offered the landlords one month’s free rent when they lease their unit with a first-time homeless family/individual with a voucher who needs permanent supportive housing. Sign-on Bonuses may not be combined with any Holding Fees for the same unit. 6 5.10.3 Assistance with credit checks and rental application fees - Once a client identifies a unit, they are eligible to receive financial assistance to cover the costs of credit checks and rental application fees. This funding is provided directly to the property owner.
5.10.4 Move-In Assistance - Homeless families and individuals are provided with a listing of available units, preparation for the rental process, transportation to visit units, and financial assistance to cover the security deposit, utilities, and other move-in costs.
• Clients are provided with available unit listings and are eligible to receive transportation to view prospective units.
• If the client and owner agree to enter into a lease for the unit, the family/individual is eligible to receive funding to facilitate the move-in process. • Clients can receive funding for the security deposit, up to the limit allowed under California law for security deposits.
• Clients can receive funding to cover costs to establish utilities, including payment of outstanding bills, and utility deposits.
• Other move-in costs can include household supplies, furniture, and other miscellaneous items.
5.10.5 Damage Claims – Landlords may receive assistance to fix damages caused by a tenant with a voucher.
• If a homeless individual/family vacates a unit and the owner identifies damages that are beyond normal wear and tear, the owner is eligible to submit a damage claim. • The owner must identify the damages and notify the PHA who will conduct an inspection to confirm the damages.
• The owner completes the repairs and provides proof of the repairs to the PHA to request payment.
• The PHA verifies the repairs and processes the damage claim. • The owner must first deduct the security deposit from the damages, and the PHA will pay for damages beyond the security deposit up to $3,000. This is the most the PHA will pay under any circumstances.
• LACDA previously received funds for damage mitigation. LACDA will make the fund available for the PHA’s owners until the funds are expended.
5.10.6 Refund Unused Funding – The PHA agrees to refund any unused portion of the County funds to LACDA upon completion or termination of this agreement.

Measure A Responsive Regional Plan
Overview
As outlined in the Affordable Housing, Homelessness Solutions, and Prevention Now Transactions and Use Tax Ordinance (Measure A or Ordinance), the County Board of Supervisors (Board) is charged with adopting a regional plan consistent with the goals and objectives established by the Ordinance.
The recommended regional plan outlined here, the Responsive Regional Plan, seeks to coordinate countywide efforts to combat homelessness. W ith participation from all local jurisdictions, the plan will provide an opportunity for alignment across countywide programmatic efforts, including but not limited to those funded by Measure A. As a living plan, it will continuously evolve, incorporating course correct ions as the region adapts and continuously improves its efforts.
This attachment provides a summary of the Responsive Regional Plan and the steps to enable its implementation:
1) Adoption of the proposed framework for the Responsive Regional Plan (included in this Attachment);
2) Collection of additional data from jurisdictional partners to build a more comprehensive and inclusive version of the Responsive Regional Plan; and 3) D evelopment of a process for continual updates from jurisdictional partners, creating a “living” Responsive Regional Plan.
Together, these components will provide a publicly available tool that will enhance regional coordination by providing visibility into both local jurisdiction and countywide efforts and improve tracking drivers of progress toward the Measure A goals and objectives.
Development of a Responsive Regional Plan Framework
Per Measure A, Section 6, A5, the Board is charged with adopting a regional plan that aims to reduce homelessness and increase the supply of affordable housing in the County by April 1, 2025. 1 The Ordinance included the option to satisfy the regional plan requirement by adopting the regionally coordinated plan developed for the most recent Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) grant application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). The County’s HHAP application was a joint effort by the County, City of Los Angeles, and four Continuum of Care partners (Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority or LAHSA, Long Beach, Pasadena, and Glendale). It included a regionally coordinated action plan, developed through strategic partnerships and emphasizing data-driven, cross-system planning to strengthen the County’s response to homelessness. T he plan was formally adopted by all six participating jurisdiction s through a memorandum of understanding. W hile the extensive application process for the HHAP grant demonstrated deep countywide alignment, it was limited to the six partners and therefore required further expansion to include all local jurisdictional partners and unincorporated areas in Los Angeles County.
1 Measure A, Section 6, A5: “If another funding source mandates a countywide plan that includes housing and homeless services systems, that plan may serve as the regional plan this section requires.”
2 Acknowledging that the County HHAP application does not encompass the efforts of all jurisdictional partners - such as the other 84 cities, Councils of Government, and unincorporated areas - the Responsive Regional Plan builds upon the HHAP application as a framework. The Responsive Regional Plan framework serves as a starting point to collect and organize data from all jurisdictions and unincorporated areas across the County.
Responsive Regional Plan Components and Data Collection The Responsive Regional Plan has four components:
1) G oals - As outlined by Measure A;
2) M etrics - Adopted by the Board to measure progress toward goals; a. Should the Board adopt revised metrics, the same changes will be reflected in the Responsive Regional Plan;
3) Impact Categories - Groups of similar or like action items aimed at achieving the goals of Measure A; and
4) Action Items - Unique or collaborative initiatives, efforts, and programs implemented within or across jurisdictions.
The impact categories and action items included in the Responsive Regional Plan framework in this Attachment are drawn from the HHAP application; the data collection processes described in the next section are intended to expand the R esponsive Regional Plan to reflect additional jurisdictional efforts countywide.
To facilitate the collection of this critical information, an online platform will be developed, along with a formal process for jurisdictions to submit information on the strategies and programs they currently implement to address housing and homelessness . Each submission will be reviewed and finalized in partnership with the submitting jurisdiction. This publicly accessible platform will organize submitted information by Goals, Metrics, Impact Category, and Action Item, with filtering options by jurisdiction.
Each year, as collective efforts evolve, adjust, and course correct to achieve the Goals of Measure A, the Responsive Regional Plan must also adapt to reflect these changes. To that end, updates to the plan will include a process through the online platform for jurisdictions to submit new Impact Categories and Action Items, as well as amend prior submissions as changes occur over time.
Intended Uses and Benefits of the Regional Plan
Once implemented, the Responsive Regional Plan will serve as a tool to inform and strengthen the region’s ability to align policy and program design across jurisdictions, inform best practices for standardizations of care, collaborate and remove roadblocks, scale effective programs, identify opportunities for system and cost efficiencies and drive investments toward greatest impact to achieve the Measure A goals.

Responsive Regional Plan Framework - A Living Document
Each page in this document takes the following structure:
Action Items used to develop this framework were identified using the Los Angeles County collaborative Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Grant application which was submitted to the State of California in March of 2024 on behalf of the County of Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles and region's four Continuums of Care. This initial framework serves as a foundation for the Responsive Regional Plan to which additional efforts can be added and amendments can be made to best reflect the work of jurisdictional partners across the County.
This framework will be used to build an interactive online platform, allowing users to search by metric, goal, impact category, action item, and jurisdiction. The platform will also enable jurisdictions to contribute new impact categories and action items or amend existing ones through a submission process. The content here is subject to change to best reflect our collective jurisdictional efforts.
