November 10, 2026 – In recognition of Veteran’s Day, the Los Angeles County Development Authority (LACDA) is proud to show support for veterans by participating in the sixth anniversary of Operation Green Light, and illuminating its Alhambra administrative building with green lights from November 4 through November 11, 2026.

Spearheaded by the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers, County governments across the nation take part in the annual effort to let veterans know that they are seen, appreciated, and supported. Los Angeles County residents, businesses, and community organizations are also encouraged to participate in Operation Green Light by changing one light to a green bulb.

Last year, 412 counties across 44 states participated in the initiative and this year, the green lights are expected to shine brightly over hundreds of counties in recognition of the sacrifices and bravery of veterans as well as to raise awareness around the growing needs and resources for those who have served.

The LACDA is committed to providing support to veterans through the Federally-funded Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Program in partnership with the Veterans Affairs Medical Center of Greater Los Angeles. The VASH Program assists homeless veterans and their families in securing and sustaining affordable housing while also highlighting the significance of other support services. The LACDA currently houses 2,501 veterans through VASH and continues to strive to empower veterans to achieve long-lasting self-sufficiency. Furthermore, the LACDA’s programs support the investment of local, State, and Federal resources that assist in the development and construction of special needs housing for vulnerable populations such as veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

“Operation Green Light provides our agency the opportunity to show solidarity with veterans and express our appreciation and gratitude for their services and sacrifices,” said Emilio Salas, LACDA Executive Director and United States Army veteran. “The LACDA is pleased to continue its commitment to providing and expanding housing stability for our deserving heroes of the Armed Forces.”
