Gita O'Neill has been appointed as the interim chief executive of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, following Va Lecia Adams Kellum's departure. O'Neill, a city attorney with nearly 24 years of experience, will oversee the agency as it faces a 40% budget cut from its $875 million allocation. LAHSA has been criticized for poor contract and data management, as highlighted in a recent county audit. O'Neill is tasked with reshaping the agency amid these challenges and a change in administration following the formation of a new county homelessness department.
O'Neill will guide LAHSA through significant downsizing, losing about 40% of its $875 million budget while addressing severe criticism for contract and data management.
Under O'Neill’s interim leadership, LAHSA faces restructuring to overcome audits revealing poor financial oversight and a failure to reclaim and pay contractor funds.
