LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) will temporarily be co-led by chief officers Molly Rysman and Kristina Dixon, now that Executive Director Heidi Marston, who announced her resignation earlier this week, has stepped back from her leadership role.

Marston, who had led LAHSA since December 2019, had previously said her resignation would be effective May 27, but LAHSA announced on April 29 that Marston would step down as executive director on the same day but remain with the agency until May 27.
