Brief

Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky introduced this resolution in April 2026 to advocate for Assembly Bill 1899 (Caloza), which would establish a state Office of Youth Homelessness Prevention, and to position Los Angeles to participate in California's Interagency Council on Homelessness. The resolution supports the city's involvement in coordinating homelessness policy at the state level. It was referred to the Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, which waived consideration on May 12, 2026. The matter remains open and pending.

Full summary

This resolution, introduced by Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky with Councilmember Ysabel Jurado's second, addresses two connected state-level homelessness initiatives. First, it expresses the city's support for Assembly Bill 1899, authored by state legislator Caloza, which would create a dedicated Office of Youth Homelessness Prevention at the state level. Youth homelessness is a distinct policy challenge within the broader homelessness crisis, and the resolution signals LA's backing for targeted state intervention on this front. Second, the resolution positions Los Angeles to join California's Interagency Council on Homelessness, an inter-departmental coordination body at the state level that brings together agencies working on homelessness policy, data, and funding. The resolution was introduced on April 24, 2026, and referred to the Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, which is the appropriate venue for legislative advocacy positions and intergovernmental coordination matters. On May 12, 2026, the committee waived consideration of the item, a procedural move that allows the resolution to move forward without formal committee debate or amendment. The file remains open and pending further action. With an expiration date of April 24, 2028, there is time for Council to act on this matter before it closes.
