STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: EXCUSE ABSENCE OF COMMISSIONER PALTIN FROM THE
JUNE 10, 2026, HOUSING COMMISSION QUARTERLY MEETING
RECOMMENDATION
Excuse absence of Commissioner Priscilla Paltin from the June 10, 2026, Housing
Commission quarterly meeting.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Commissioner Paltin requested to be excused from the June 10, 2026, Housing
Commission quarterly meeting due to previously scheduled travel.
Commissioner Paltin has no excused or unexcused absences in fiscal year 2025/26.
FISCAL IMPACT – No meeting attendance compensation is paid to absent members.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Section 2.06.090(B) of the La Quinta Municipal Code states: “If any member of a board,
commission or committee absents themself from two consecutive regular meetings or
absents themself from a total of three regular meetings within any fiscal year, their office
shall become vacant and shall be filled as any other vacancy.”
Section 2.06.090(C) further states: “Any member of a board or commission may request
advance permission from the city council (housing authority) to be absent at one or more
regular meetings due to extenuating circumstances, and/or may request the city council
(housing authority) to excuse an absence after-the-fact where such extenuating
circumstances prevented the member from seeking advance permission to be absent,
except for the housing commission, whose member(s) may request such excusal from the
housing authority. Any member of a temporary committee may request such excusal from
the establishing body. If such permission or excuse is granted by the city council, housing
authority, or establishing body, the absence shall not be counted toward the above-stated
limitations on absences.”
ALTERNATIVES
The Housing Authority may deny this request, which would result in the absence being
counted toward the Commissioner’s limitation on absences as noted above.

HOUSING AUTHORITY SPECIAL MEETING: June 16, 2026
STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE FUNDING TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO AREA
HOMELESS SERVICE PARTNERS FOR LOCAL HOMELESS PREVENTION
PROGRAMS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026/27
RECOMMENDATION
Approve funding to provide $129,000 in assistance in fiscal year 2026/27 to each local
homeless service provider and homeless prevention partner – Coachella Valley Rescue
Mission, Martha’s Village and Kitchen, and Coachella Valley Association of Governments;
and authorize the Executive Director to execute the Memorandum of Understanding.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
•Since fiscal year (FY) 2016/17, the annual budget of the Housing Authority
(Authority) has incorporated funding to assist local homeless service providers and
homeless prevention partners as these services positively impact the City and the
greater Coachella Valley community.
•In FY 2025/26 the Authority allocated $125,000 to each of the three local homeless
service providers and homeless prevention partners – Coachella Valley Rescue
Mission (CVRM), Martha’s Village and Kitchen (MVK), and Coachella Valley
Association of Governments (CVAG).
•Staff recommends increasing the annual funding allocation for each provider from
$125,000 to $129,000 for FY 2026/27.
•On June 10, 2026, the Housing Commission recommended Authority approval to
increase funding to $129,000 for each provider.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, the annual funding allocation for local homeless service providers and
homeless prevention partners would increase by $4,000 per partner, from $125,000 to
$129,000, for a total annual allocation of $387,000 in FY 2026/27. Sufficient funding is
included in the proposed FY 2026/27 Low-Mod Housing Authority Budget within account
number 243-0000-60532 to support the increased allocation. The total funding remains
below the maximum annual expenditure of $500,000 authorized pursuant to Health and
Safety Code Section 34176.1(a)(2).
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Authority annually allocates funding for local homeless service providers and
homeless prevention partners in the Coachella Valley.
To address the rising cost of housing in the current economic climate, the City proposes
increasing the funding allocation for each local homeless prevention partner from
$125,000 to $129,000 for FY 2026/27. This adjustment reflects the growing financial need
for housing assistance and ensures that key service providers, CVRM, MVK, and CVAG,
can continue delivering essential support to individuals and families at risk of
homelessness in La Quinta and the surrounding region. Each organization is required to
provide a quarterly report on the use of the funds, including the number of individuals
from La Quinta who were assisted and the services they utilized. A summary of these
reports highlighting key program metrics has been attached (Attachment 4).
The Authority is able to provide this assistance pursuant to California Health and Safety
Code’s Community Development and Housing law, which states “…if the Housing
Successor (the Authority) has fulfilled all obligations pursuant to Sections 33413 and
33418, the Authority may expend up to $500,000 dollars per fiscal year for homeless
prevention and rapid rehousing services for individuals and families who are homeless or
would be homeless but for this assistance, including the provision of short-term or
medium-term rental assistance, contributions toward the construction of local or regional
homeless shelters, housing relocation and stabilization services including housing
search, mediation, or outreach to property owners, credit repair, security or utility
deposits, utility payments, rental assistance for a final month at a location, moving cost
assistance, and case management, or other appropriate activities for homelessness
prevention and rapid rehousing of persons who have become homeless.”
A separate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is executed with each provider
individually, stipulating annual and quarterly reporting requirements (Attachments 1, 2,
and 3).
ALTERNATIVES
The Authority may elect not to support this funding request; however, since these
organizations have consistently provided support for the local community and rely on
these contributions, Staff does not recommend this alternative.
