Committees

LAHSA Committees handle specific issue tasks and make recommendations to the full Commission. Each commissioner serves on a LAHSA Commission Committee. Committees may also have non-commission members who participate in discussions, but do not vote on recommendations. Committees make recommendations to the full commission on key funding and policy issues.

Meeting schedules and agendas are public information and are posted here.

Commission
LAHSA is governed by a politically appointed, 10-member Commission. The LAHSA Commission has the authority to make budgetary, funding, planning and program policies. The Commission regularly meets every 4th Friday of the month at 9:00 am (except November and December - meets the 3rd Friday).
Programs, Planning & Policy
The Programs, Planning and Policy Committee reviews program design and policies, approves processes soliciting proposals, and makes contract recommendations resulting from competitive solicitation processes to the Commission. The Committee also discusses planning issues and processes, the 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness, the Homeless Management Information System and makes recommendations to the Commission resulting from these discussions. The Committee also makes policy recommendations to the Commission on legislative and policy issues including state and federal appropriations and authorizing legislation relating to homelessness. The committee regularly meets every 3rd Friday of the month at 9:00 am (except November and December - meets the 2nd Friday).
Finance, Contracts & Grants Management
The Finance, Contracts & Grants Management (FCGM) Committee advises on contracts and grants implementation, execution, amendments and compliance. The Committee is responsible for monitoring the financial health of the organization by reviewing monthly financial statements and reports by the Chief Financial Officer. The Committee reviews all financial audits and monitoring reports by LAHSA's funding partners and oversees LAHSA responses to findings, if any. If appropriate, the Committee recommends mid-year budget corrections to the Commission. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the annual single audit and reporting the fiscal condition of LAHSA to the Commission. Further, the Committee is responsible for understanding the administrative and programmatic fiscal resource requirements of LAHSA and, if appropriate, making the Commission aware of the need for additional resources. The committee regularly meets every 3rd Wednesday of the month at 2:00 pm (except November and December - meets the 2nd Wednesday).
