Mayor Karen Bass and Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Adrianne Todman gathered with CIFD and regional leaders on October 10 at the Mayfair Hotel, which was acquired by the City for use as a permanent interim housing site and expanded permanent interim housing capacity by nearly 300 beds when it opened in May. Case management and wrap-around services at the Mayfair include but are not limited to:
- Physical and mental health services
- Substance use disorder services
- Intensive case management
- Life skills
- Employment and housing navigation
During a tour of the Mayfair, Mayor Bass announced more than 1,000 people were able to come inside thanks to new waivers from HUD to slash red tape that kept Angelenos on the street instead of in housing.
Funding for the Mayfair included nearly $28 million allocated from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). CIFD serves as the administrator of CDBG funds and partners with our City leaders to leverage these resources and address the needs of the City.
