L.A.'s Homeless Services Chief Signed $2M+ in Contracts with Husband's Employer

Va Lecia Adams Kellum, CEO of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), is under fire for signing contracts worth $2.1 million with Upward Bound House, where her husband works in a senior role. Though she previously claimed to be recused from related matters, her signatures on these agreements raise significant ethics concerns. The contracts were intended for rent payments and housing assistance, with further amendments for youth housing services. Adams Kellum, who disclosed the potential conflict when hired, described her signing as an oversight after documents were incorrectly sent to her. Despite this claim, the incident comes amid growing scrutiny of LAHSA, which controls over $700 million in homeless services annually. Critics, including city officials, emphasized the importance of maintaining ethical standards at the agency.
