County Supervisors to Consider Major Housing, Health, and Infrastructure Actions

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to review a range of fiscal and policy items Tuesday designed to strengthen social programs, housing protections, and public safety while advancing major infrastructure projects across the region.

A motion from Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath proposes extending emergency housing price protections through November 28 in response to increased reports of rent and hotel price gouging. The measure would maintain enforcement of state and county ordinances designed to prevent excessive rent and eviction during high-demand periods.

Supervisor Hilda L. Solis is expected to introduce a plan directing County departments to coordinate efforts ensuring Medi-Cal and CalFresh beneficiaries remain enrolled during eligibility verification transitions. The proposal emphasizes cooperation among Health Services, Public Social Services, and community organizations to expand work programs and streamline the verification process.

Infrastructure and recovery planning dominate the docket. Supervisors are slated to establish the Altadena Wildfire Recovery Infrastructure Financing District to support rebuilding in affected areas. They will also consider continuing 10 local emergency declarations while ending two related to the 2023 winter storms and Tropical Storm Hilary.

Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell’s proposal to realign the Marvin Braude Bike Path at Dockweiler Beach will fund $2 million in coastal repairs through Proposition C transportation funds. Other public works include a $2.6 million traffic synchronization project along Arrow Highway and a $10 million preconstruction budget for the Pitchess Detention Center South Renovation Project in Castaic.

Public health and workforce matters are also on the agenda. The Board will weigh a $490,670 contract for a multicultural mental health conference in 2026, new language access contracts through 2030, and additional substance use service agreements. A memorandum of understanding with the Program Managers Association (Bargaining Unit?804) covering employees through September?2025 is also up for approval.

Funding measures from the District Attorney’s Office totaling more than $18?million for fraud-related prosecutions will be reviewed, along with a $36,933 Cannabis Tax Fund Grant allocation.

The Board will also consider a $150,000 joint funding agreement to update the Salt and Nutrient Management Plan for groundwater basins and an environmental certification for the Rory?M.?Shaw Wetlands Park Project under the Sun Valley Watershed Plan.
