Impact analysis
Up to $18 million in possible cuts; a county motion could restore roughly $4 million for Long Beach.
If the county restores half the cuts, shelter beds and rapid rehousing slots for families and individuals are preserved.
Families in motel shelters and people in rapid rehousing programs would lose services if cuts take effect.

Board of Health and Human Services - Jan 9, 2026
About $12 million in federal Continuum of Care funding is stuck in limbo after court action, and LA County may cut the city's $8 million share entirely — money that pays for shelter operations and cold-weather activations. The county Board of Supervisors votes Tuesday, and the city is scrambling to restore at least part of it.
