Earlier this month, Los Angeles city officials tried something new in their pursuit of pairing homeless people with rental subsidies. The county’s housing authority — known as the Los Angeles County Development Authority — was awarded 1,964 vouchers. Doing that hiring has been slow going, but now the city’s housing authority is catching up for lost time. About 1,000 voucher applications from people staying at Project Roomkey sites have been submitted to the city Housing Authority. There were five people onsite from the housing authority, along with people from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and LAHSA.
