City attorney has left $177M tenant aid contract unsigned for months. LA leaders want to know why
Los Angeles City Attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto has delayed signing a $177 million tenant aid contract for months, causing $17 million in emergency rental assistance to remain unused and threatening services for at-risk tenants. City leaders, including Councilmember Ysabel Jurado, are demanding explanations and a 30-day report on the delay, which Feldstein Soto attributes to a need for competitive bidding. Tenant aid providers warn that prolonged delays could force layoffs and halt eviction case support.
