City Council Meeting Agenda — June 22, 2026
The city renewed motel leasing, Exodus Recovery (Project Homekey) and Urban Alchemy contracts — about $6.5 million combined — after residents described curfews, room checks, retaliation and harassment. The council shortened terms to one year, kept a 30-day cancellation clause, and promised an RFP and a rules review.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS — June 16, 2026
Culver City's contracts with Urban Alchemy and Exodus Recovery were renewed without competitive bidding during the homelessness emergency. The committee recommends one-year renewals so services don't stop, but wants a formal RFP process so other providers can compete in the future.
