On Nov. 7, 2026, the Los Angeles County Department of Economic Opportunity and the County’s Chief Sustainability Office released a solicitation seeking a qualified organization to deliver the REFLECT LA Program, the county said.
The solicitation makes $1.38 million available; written questions are due Nov. 13, 2026, by 12:00 PM PT and proposals are due Dec. 8, 2026, by 12:00 PM PT. The anticipated contract term is Feb. 15–June 30, 2027, with an option to extend through June 30, 2028.
The selected organization must serve a minimum of 75 participants and provide paid transitional employment, industry-recognized credentials, supervised installation experience, supportive services, and hiring assistance into jobs and apprenticeships; participants will also receive 12 months of retention and advancement support. The program pairs paid workforce training with no-cost reflective roof coatings at eligible residential properties to help households address extreme heat and to prepare residents for green construction and climate‑adaptation careers.
“The REFLECT LA program is an excellent opportunity for Los Angeles County to strengthen opportunities and career pathways for residents interested in green construction, while supporting community partners that empower our communities,” said Los Angeles County Board Chair and First District Supervisor, .
“REFLECT LA connects two priorities: helping residents build lasting careers and helping communities prepare for extreme heat,” said Kelly LoBianco, Director of DEO.
“The jobs of the future will increasingly be the jobs that help us adapt to a changing climate,” said Rita Kampalath, the County’s Chief Sustainability Officer. “REFLECT LA will give residents the skills and hands-on experience to pursue careers in green construction while helping protect households from extreme heat. That’s how we turn the challenge of climate change into an opportunity for our communities.”
REFLECT LA is funded through the County’s Care First, Community Investment initiative and the Climate Equity Account through the Chief Sustainability Office. The Work Order is available only to organizations currently on the LA County Social Enterprise Employment and Training Program Services Master Agreement; county-approved subcontractors are permitted, and organizations on the Master Agreement list will receive an email with the Work Order documents.
