In 2024, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted Keeping Pets and Families Together: Increasing Pet Equity in Housing, directing departments to explore ways to expand pet-inclusive, rent-stabilized housing in unincorporated areas. The resulting countywide feasibility study identified practical policy options to increase pet-friendly housing, reduce shelter surrenders tied to housing insecurity, and support families who depend on their pets for stability and companionship.
