SUPERVISOR HORVATH'S STATEMENT ON GINA O'NEILL AS INTERIM CEO AT LAHSA

July 25th, 2025

LOS ANGELES, CA – Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath shared the following statement regarding the appointment of Gina O’Neill as the interim CEO of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA):

This is a critical transition point for our homeless services system. LAHSA must move beyond the scandal, distractions, and stonewalling that have eroded public trust.

Residents across LA County are tired of a bloated bureaucracy that fails to meet the urgency of this crisis. That’s why the County is unifying homeless services and programs into a single department—one the public can directly access, hold accountable, and expect to deliver results.

As the federal administration continues to target vital resources, this work is more important than ever. LAHSA must embrace change, and we’re counting on Gita O’Neill as LAHSA’s new leadership to move with urgency, transparency, and true partnership.
