Brief

Full summary

This motion, introduced by Councilmember Ysabel Jurado and seconded by Councilmember Bob Blumenfield, proposes amendments to the governance and fiscal framework of the United to House Los Angeles (ULA) program, which is Los Angeles's voter-approved affordable housing initiative funded by a local real estate transfer tax. The motion specifically targets two key components of the ULA program: the structure and authority of its citizen oversight committee, and the administration fund used to manage program operations and affordable housing development efforts. While the specific amendments are not detailed in the available activity log, such motions typically address questions of community input, transparency, staffing, and the proportion of ULA revenue allocated to administrative costs versus direct housing development. The motion was referred to the Ad Hoc Committee on Measure United to House Los Angeles (ULA) on May 22, 2026, where it awaits detailed review and discussion. The committee scheduled a hearing for May 29, 2026, to address this item. As of the most recent activity on May 27, the motion remains pending in committee with no votes or amendments yet recorded. The file is set to expire on May 27, 2028, giving the Council approximately two years to act. Given the ongoing nature of ULA program implementation and the regular need for administrative refinements, this motion reflects the continuing work of Los Angeles policymakers to balance community oversight with program efficiency.
