Full summary

The City contracted with Interwest Consulting Group Inc to provide tenant temporary relocation services in support of the Accessible Housing Program, authorizing the General Manager of the Los Angeles Housing Department to execute the agreement. The contract runs five years from May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2031, with a total value not to exceed $2,000,000.

Funding for the remaining four years is subject to annual Mayor and Council approval through the budget process. The City Administrative Officer confirmed the contract carries no additional impact to the General Fund and complies with the City's financial policies by drawing only on dedicated funding sources. The file moved efficiently through the approval process. The CAO report was referred to the Housing and Homelessness Committee on March 5, 2026.
