## Resource

Long Beach’s homeless population gets a reprieve as federal funding saves hundreds of households from losing housing aid—thanks to a last-minute cash infusion that’ll transition most into Section 8 vouchers by November. The Emergency Housing Voucher program, meant to last until 2030, ran out faster than expected due to soaring rents, helping people like a new mom rebuild her life. Meanwhile, in L.A., controversy erupts as Justin Szlasa, a watchdog pushing for transparency and performance-based contracts at LAHSA, is abruptly removed from his audit chair role—with no explanation—raising alarms about cover-ups amid the agency’s ongoing dysfunction.
