HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 8c - Measure A Funds for Homeless Programs STAFF REPORT RECREATION & COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT DATE: August 18, 2026 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Sara Somogyi, Director of Recreation and Community Services By: Ashley Marston, Senior Management Analyst SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH SAN GABRIEL VALLEY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS TO RECEIVE MEASURE A FUNDS FOR CITY HOMELESS PROGRAMS CEQA: Not a Project Recommendation: Accept SUMMARY The City of Arcadia is a direct recipient of Measure A funds from the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (“SGVCOG”) for City homeless programs. Funds can be used for a variety of services, including case management, short-term hotel stays, and relocation expenses. These funds help offset the City’s previous allocations to homelessness. Arcadia’s allocation for Fiscal Year 2026-27 is $190,861. When combined with the previous year’s allocation, Arcadia’s total Measure A funding thus far is $374,323. It is recommended the City Council accept Measure A funds in the amount of $190,861 for the implementation of ongoing City homeless programs; and authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Memorandum of Agreement with the SGVCOG. It is further recommended that the City Council delegate the authority to accept Measure A funds and execute annual extensions for this agreement to the City Manager. Measure A Funds for Homeless Programs August 18, 2026 Page 2 of 4 BACKGROUND In November 2024, Los Angeles County repealed and replaced Measure H with Measure A, a permanent, half-cent sales tax for the primary purpose of addressing homelessness in Los Angeles County. Measure A provides that a portion of funds generated will be allocated to Los Angeles County cities through the Local Solutions Fund. In the San Gabriel Valley, the Local Solutions Fund is administered the SGVCOG. In November 2025, the City Council accepted Measure A Funds and directed the City Manager execute an agreement with the SGVCOG for FY 2025-26. To continue receiving Measure A funds for FY 2026-27, the City must execute an amendment to the agreement. After deducting the SGVCOG’s administrative expenses, Arcadia’s allocation for FY 2026-27 is $190,861. DISCUSSION Per the agreement, the City will operate several projects with Measure A funds, all of which are a continuance of existing City homeless programs. Projects can be classified into two broad program categories: Case Management and Emergency Services. Case Management funds support the City’s full-time case management contract and Emergency Services funds support those experiencing homelessness with short-term hotel stays, move-in support, and family reunification. Below is a financial distribution summary for these programs: Program Category Projects Funds Case Management Case Management & Outreach Services $100,000 Emergency Services Interim Housing & Financial Assistance $90,861 $190,861 Programs will be implemented in collaboration with the City’s case management service provider, Housing Empowerment Recovery & Outreach Community Services (“HERO”), who will work with clients to assess individual needs and eligibility. Unlike the City’s other homeless funds, Measure A funds can be allocated to individuals regardless of residency, allowing the City more flexibility in addressing the regional crisis. Measure A Funds for Homeless Programs August 18, 2026 Page 3 of 4 Data, reports, and invoices in relation to Measure A funds will be submitted to the SGVCOG monthly. Additionally, the City will submit quarterly and annual reports that include demographics of clients, overview of services provided, outcomes of key performance indicators, and feedback on which implementation strategies have been most effective. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) per Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. FISCAL IMPACT Costs related to City homeless programs under Measure A will be offset by monthly reimbursements from the SGVCOG. There is no impact to the General Fund. The agreement sets forth a spenddown requirement of 70% to be met by June 15 of each year. If the City fails to meet this expenditure requirement for two consecutive years, unexpended funds equaling 30% or more will be reallocated and transferred to regional programs. Arcadia expects to meet these expenditure requirements and does not anticipate a decrease in future funding. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a project under the California Quality Act (“CEQA”); and accept Measure A funds in the amount of $190,861 for the implementation of City homeless programs; and authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the Memorandum of Agreement with San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments. It is further recommended that the City Council delegate the authority to accept future Measure A funds and execute annual extensions for this agreement to the City Manager provided that such extensions are of the same general order of financial magnitude and would address the City’s established homelessness response goals.

The outreach teams will engage initially with clients and continue to provide follow-up case management to help clients connect to services, secure housing and maintain stable housing. Group 2 Connection The project will be connected with the following investments/programs funded by other entities, governmental or nongovernmental, including local agencies such as: This project will be an avenue for PEH, with a focus on clients with SUD or SMI, to connect to other Measure A-funded housing resources and those funded by other sources. In Arcadia, outreach teams will be able to place clients into those housing resources (listed in projects 1B and 1C) as part of their case management and outreach services. In addition, outreach teams use a robust continuum of housing resources to which clients can be referred, and relationships and connections managed by other Local, County, State, and Federal programs, including those executed by LAHSA, DMH, DHS, DCFS, VA, and APS. In addition, outreach teams teams will work in collaboration with SPA 3 CES lead agencies to help connect PEH to shelter (interim housing, recuperative care), permanent housing (Section 8 vouchers), mental health services (DMH), health services (DHS), and substance use treatment services (Medi-Cal funded).
