LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) will temporarily be co-led by chief officers Molly Rysman and Kristina Dixon, now that Executive Director Heidi Marston, who announced her resignation earlier this week, has stepped back from her leadership role.
Marston, who had led LAHSA since December 2019, had previously said her resignation would be effective May 27, but LAHSA announced on April 29 that Marston would step down as executive director on the same day but remain with the agency until May 27.
Rysman previously served as chief programs officer, and Kristina Dixon served as chief financial officer. The commission that oversees LAHSA elevated their positions on April 29, but the commission will name an interim executive director in the next few weeks and conduct a nationwide search for a permanent executive director.
