Brief

This 2026 budget recommendation (R64) directs the City to bill the Housing Authority of Los Angeles for the full cost of police services the LAPD provides at Housing Authority properties and facilities. Initiated by Council in late June 2026, the file was referred to the Public Safety Committee on July 7 and remains under review there. The underlying goal is to recover municipal costs for law enforcement activity on Housing Authority-controlled land.

Full summary

File 26-0600-S86 is a budget recommendation that proposes the City recover the full cost of police services provided to the Housing Authority of Los Angeles. The directive requires the LAPD to calculate and bill the Housing Authority for law enforcement activities—including patrols, incident response, and other policing operations—conducted on Housing Authority property or in support of Housing Authority operations. This reflects a broader municipal cost-recovery principle: agencies that benefit from city services should reimburse the city for those services. The file was introduced by Council on June 24, 2026, as part of the annual budget cycle. On July 7, 2026, it was formally referred to the Public Safety Committee for review and deliberation. The Public Safety Committee is the appropriate venue for this matter because it oversees LAPD budgets, operations, and interagency law enforcement agreements. As of the last recorded activity (July 7, 2026), the file remains pending in the Public Safety Committee with no vote recorded. There is a procedural note that the file expires on the same date it was introduced (June 24, 2026), which may indicate the item is part of a time-sensitive budget cycle or has already passed an initial deadline; however, its continued presence in the committee suggests ongoing active consideration. The substantive outcome—whether the Housing Authority will be billed, and at what rate—depends on the committee's review and any subsequent full Council vote.
