Homeless Count 2020: Depressing but Not Surprising Rise in Number of Homeless. LAHSA Blames Racism, Lack of Affordable Housing
Late last night, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) released the results from this January's homeless count in Los Angeles County. As expected, the numbers were bad: more Angelenos fell into homelessness than the county can place in temporary, bridge or permanent housing. Homelessness in Los Angeles County rose by 12.7% compared to the 2019 count to a total of 66,433 people. The count, taken in January by volunteers, does not take into account any changes since the sheltering orders and economic recession caused by COVID-19.
