ABC7: Measure A: Mayor Bass urges support for sales tax hike to fund homelessness programs

Oct 22, 2024

As a source of revenue for homelessness is set to expire in 2027, Mayor Karen Bass Monday called on voters to approve a new countywide measure that is estimated to bring in more than $1 billion annually to address the crisis.

With two weeks away until the Nov. 5 election, county residents are being asked whether to repeal Measure H, a quarter-cent tax approved in 2017, and replace it with Measure A, a proposed half-cent tax that would generate funds for efforts to reduce homelessness in the region.
