MEASURE H STRATEGY
The Board of Supervisors has called for a reassessment of the Measure H strategies to enable the Homeless Initiative to build on proven solutions, make necessary modifications, and develop new approaches.  We have some concerns about the Measure H reassessment recommendations, so we’re firing up the LA:RISE advocacy machine. Our goal is to make sure that the Board and CEO’s office understand the critical role that employment services from employment social enterprises, workforce partners (AJCCs, WSCs, YSCs), and retention partners play in solving homelessness in LA County. LA:RISE is a proven solution! As a reminder, LA:RISE partners receive Measure H funding for both the City and County LA:RISE programs. This funding is critical to supporting your work and program services.
