A report by Los Angeles’ city controller found that 2016’s Proposition HHH—a $1.2 billion housing program aimed at creating 10,000 housing units for the homeless—is moving at too slow a rate to successfully address homelessness in the city.
In a Feb. 23 report, Controller Ron Galperin said the program’s “problems overshadow the progress.” So far, the program has built 1,142 units—or 16 percent of the intended number—in nearly six years, while 4,205 units are currently in construction and the remaining 1,880 are in pre-development.
