'The employees of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority should not make so little that they qualify for homeless services themselves,' LAHSA Executive Director Heidi Marston wrote in her resignation letter earlier this week.
Services Authority increased its base pay from $33,119 to $50,000 a year in 2021, some of its staff were experiencing homelessness while working for the agency tasked with responding to the region's homelessness crisis, LAHSA's chief programs officer told a City Council committee Wednesday.
LAHSA's Executive Director Heidi Marston announced her resignation on Monday, citing disagreements over compensation for staff. Marston said she raised the salary for the 196 lowest-paid employees to $50,000 a year in March 2021.
