L.A. on the Record: A new leader for LAHSA

Good morning and welcome to L.A. on the Record — our City Hall newsletter. Public officials and services providers — even harsh critics of LAHSA — indicated broad excitement over the appointment, stemming mostly from Adams Kellum’s work in various communities on street homelessness. Mike Feuer, who dropped out of the L.A. mayor’s race last year after failing to gain traction, previously told Politico that he was “very seriously” considering running if Schiff gave up the seat. It’s worth noting that Caruso got more votes in District 6 than Bass in the recent mayor’s race, according to voter data surveyed by the campaign team representing candidate Marco Santana. The candidates who qualified for the ballot are: Marisa Alcaraz, environmental policy director for Los Angeles; City Councilmember Curren Price; Rose Grigoryan, who worked for Armenian TV station ARTN-Shant, according to her website; Isaac Kim, who runs men’s skin and hair care company Pilot Men’s Grooming and volunteers through his church, Hillside LA, to help homeless people; Imelda Padilla, who has worked for Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy, Pacoima Beautiful and Martinez; Marco Santana, director of engagement at L.A. Family Housing who also worked for Rep. Tony Cardenas ; Antoinette Scully, national organizer at the Unitarian Universalist Women’s Federation and founder of the Valley Justice Coalition/Collective; and Douglas Sierra, who works at management consulting firm Monitor Deloitte and A Place Called Home, a youth and community center in South Central.
