LAHSA manages a year-round planning process for the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (LACofC). LAHSA collaborates with the City and County of Los Angeles and other local governments that provide substantial funding to programs for homeless individuals and families, including coordinating specific Consolidated Planning and other strategic planning efforts.

Planning efforts are collaborative in nature, and designed to be inclusive of both stakeholders and geography. Planning involves 34 governmental jurisdictions, 8 Service Planning Area (SPA) homeless coalitions, service providers, faith-based organizations, businesses, foundations, and consumers of homeless services.
