Full summary

This resolution, introduced by Councilmember Monica Rodriguez and seconded by Councilmember Bob Blumenfield, seeks to formalize a memorandum of understanding between the City of Los Angeles and the County on a coordinated approach to severe mental illness transitions, interim housing funded by the City, and systems of care operated by the County. The measure is part of the broader 2026-2027 legislative program and appears designed to align City and County efforts on mental health service delivery and housing. The substantive focus encompasses three key areas: first, establishing protocols for transitioning individuals with severe mental illness between services; second, identifying and coordinating city-funded interim housing sites to serve this population; and third, integrating county-operated systems of care into a cohesive framework. Such an MOU would typically establish roles, responsibilities, funding commitments, and service standards across jurisdictional lines. The file was referred to the Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee on the introduction date of August 4, 2026. As of the last recorded activity, it remains pending before that committee with no further action logged. The matter is set to expire on August 4, 2028, allowing a two-year window for committee consideration and Council action.
