# LA CoC Selects LA County for Homelessness Roles

On October 29, 2026, the Los Angeles Continuum of Care selected the Los Angeles County Department of Homeless Services and Housing to take over four regional administrative functions from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority: Collaborative Applicant, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Lead, Coordinated Entry System (CES) Management Entity, and Point-in-Time (PIT) Count Administrator. The transition remains subject to court-approved transition plans and HUD and CoC requirements; no contract value, solicitation, or implementation schedule has been announced.

- The selection could create support needs around HMIS, coordinated-entry operations, PIT count administration, and federal funding administration, but the announcement does not establish a contract or procurement opportunity.
- Contractors and service providers should use the transition updates and community-partner engagement to identify where their capabilities may be relevant; no bid deadline or formal procurement timeline is available.
- Organizations supporting the transition should account for the court-approved plans and applicable HUD and CoC requirements when assessing potential work.
