Lifeline extended to county homeless programs

GINA FERAZZI Los Angeles Times THE FUNDS could help formerly homeless households from returning to the streets. Above, Skid Row.

The Los Angeles County Affordable Housing Solutions Agency this week approved nearly $11.5 million in homeless prevention funds, the largest single allocation yet for the new agency.

The approval comes as other government entities cut back on programs to fight homelessness, sparking concerns more people could make their way onto the streets and into shelters.

"We are in a place to deploy new dollars at a moment where dollars are scarce," Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson, who serves as chair of LACAHSA’s board, said in an interview. "Help is on the way."
