RFK Jr. vows to tie LA homelessness funding to accountability and recovery-focused reforms
TL;DR Summary
RFK Jr. blasted LA’s homelessness system at the Dream Center as a taxpayer-funded “industrial complex,” warning that federal funding to LAHSA could be cut if programs don’t move people off the streets into treatment and recovery. The Trump administration is pushing a shift of roughly $240 million toward recovery-focused housing, suspending LAHSA’s grants for now and directing providers to apply directly to the federal government. LAHSA is challenging the suspension, while a Rhode Island judge has blocked the shift for the time being.
