Brief

The Mayor nominated Taylor Holland to serve on the House LA Citizens Oversight Committee for a term ending June 30, 2026. The Housing and Homelessness Committee approved the nomination in August 2024, and Council adopted it 13-0-2 on September 24, 2024, making the action final. In August 2026, as the original term expired, the file was rereferred to the Housing Committee for what appears to be renewal or reappointment. The Housing Committee scheduled the item for September 16, 2026, and the City Clerk scheduled it for full Council consideration on September 18, 2026.

Full summary

Mayor Karen Bass has reappointed Taylor Holland to the House LA Citizens Oversight Committee for a new term running through June 30, 2031. Holland's original term, which the Council confirmed 13-0-2 in September 2024, expired on June 30, 2026. The House LA Citizens Oversight Committee provides public oversight of the city's affordable housing programs funded under the House LA initiative. Holland brings substantial affordable housing development experience to the role. She serves as Director of Development at Wakeland Housing and Development Corporation, where she oversees a $300 million development pipeline that includes 450 units of affordable housing for low-income families, seniors, and people with special needs. Before that, she managed a portfolio of over 290 units at PATH Ventures and worked as a student intern in the City Administrative Officer's office, where she helped coordinate Measure HHH loan documents and contributed to the city's Homeless Strategy Update. She holds a Master of Urban Planning from UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs with a concentration in housing and community economic development, and previously served on the Mid City West Neighborhood Council. The reappointment was submitted by Mayor Bass on August 4, 2026, and referred to the Housing and Homelessness Committee. The City Clerk subsequently rereferred the item to the Housing Committee on August 28, 2026, pursuant to Council File No. 26-2000, which appears to reflect a committee restructuring or jurisdictional reassignment. The Housing Committee scheduled the item for its September 16, 2026 meeting, where it awaits a recommendation before the full Council can vote on confirmation.
