The number of homeless people across Los Angeles County increased over the past two years, according to the results of a recent count.

 

The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority on Thursday released figures from its point-in-time count, which showed a 4.1% increase in unhoused people since early 202 before the COVID-19 pandemic. In the city of Los Angeles, 41,980 people were classified as being homeless, while countywide, 69,144 homeless were counted. 

"While it is too soon to know what this year’s count results will mean long-term, the numbers are suggesting there is a flattening of the curve that is driven by the necessary and effective economic programs that helped keep people in their homes throughout the pandemic," said Kristina Dixon, Acting Co-Executive Director at LAHSA.  :snip:
