Full summary

This resolution, introduced by Councilmember Ysabel Jurado on March 13, 2026, takes a formal opposition position on AB 1708, authored by Assemblymember Solache. The state bill would mandate that Continuums of Care prioritize Round 7 funding from California's Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention grant program for jurisdictions with populations under 300,000. The City's resolution argues that this approach ignores the disproportionate concentration of California's unsheltered population in major urban centers like Los Angeles, and that redirecting HHAP funds away from large cities would jeopardize the stability of the City's homeless response programs. The resolution directs the City to include opposition to AB 1708 in its 2025-26 State Legislative Program, formally putting Los Angeles on record against the bill as it moves through the state legislature. The Chief Legislative Analyst prepared a supporting report on April 16, 2026, which was referred to the Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee the same day. The committee approved the resolution on April 17, 2026, with four members voting yes and one absent, and forwarded it to the full Council. The City Council adopted the resolution on April 29, 2026, by a vote of 13-0-2, subject to reconsideration under Council Rule 51. The item was transmitted to the Mayor on May 1, 2026, with a deadline of May 11, 2026, for mayoral action. The file closed on May 4, 2026, when Council action became final. The resolution required the Mayor's concurrence to take full effect.
