LOS ANGELES—County voters will weigh in again Tuesday on a measure aimed at paying the region’s way out of homelessness, this time by replacing an expiring sales tax with a higher levy without a sunset date.

If approved by a majority of county voters, Measure A would repeal a quarter-cent county sales tax approved by voters in 2017 under then-Measure H. That sales tax had a 10-year lifespan, so it is set to expire in 2027.
