Full summary

Measure ULA is a voter-approved real estate transfer tax on property sales over $5 million, dedicated to funding affordable housing development and homelessness prevention. The Los Angeles Housing Department prepares an annual expenditure plan detailing how that year's revenue will be allocated across programs and projects. This file tracks the FY 2025-26 plan. The Housing Department submitted the initial FY 2025-26 report on June 11, 2025. The plan moved through the Housing and Homelessness Committee, which approved it with amendments on June 25, 2025. Budget and Finance Committee waived consideration, and Council adopted the item on July 1, 2025, with final action on July 3, 2025. A revised and supplemented report was submitted on September 27, 2024, followed by another revision on October 24, 2024. The plan received further review and approvals through the Housing and Homelessness Committee in November 2024, and Council approved it in December 2024. The most recent action occurred in June 2026, when the Housing Department submitted another updated report (dated June 10, 2026).
