sales tax

In March, Los Angeles County Supervisors approved a $908-million-funding budget for homeless services, including the first rollout of funding under the Measure A sales tax intended to address the city’s homeless problem.

Over its first five years, the company is expected to produce between 500 and 750 buses, which would generate more than $2 million in sales tax for the city.

Attaining that elusive precision will be increasingly important as both the city’s ULA “mansion tax” and the countywide Measure A sales tax begin to direct millions of dollars into homelessness prevention.

She is looking to tap new funding sources, such as Measure A, the half-cent sales tax approved by voters last year to fund homeless services.

Voter-approved Measure A, which will fund homeless services and initiatives, is going to raise sales taxes across Los Angeles County.
