Los Angeles, CA, October 28, 2026 —
A federal judge in Los Angeles has kept the Trump administration’s suspension of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) on hold, allowing the agency to continue managing key homelessness systems during a transition of its federal responsibilities to L.A. County.
The decision comes as a legal settlement between the parties nears completion. The suspension therefore remains on hold while the transition and settlement process continue, according to the information provided. The summary does not specify when the judge issued the decision or when the settlement is expected to be completed.
LAHSA’s continued role concerns key homelessness systems, but the precise systems involved and the scope of the agency’s responsibilities are not specified. The information also does not describe how or when those federal responsibilities will be transferred to the county, or whether the transition will affect LAHSA’s other work.
The judge’s name, the court case details, the terms of the proposed settlement and the administration’s reasons for suspending LAHSA were not provided. No specific findings by the court or additional conditions attached to keeping the suspension on hold were included in the summary.
For now, the stated effect of the decision is that LAHSA can continue managing the identified homelessness systems while federal responsibilities move toward L.A. County. The parties’ settlement remains near completion, but its final terms and timing have not been provided.
