Officials said the number of homeless in L.A. County was up just over 4% this year compared with double digits previously. The numbers seem to defy what we see on the streets — and even some unhoused are laughing at the results.
Officials said the number of homeless in Los Angeles County was up just over 4% this year compared with double digits previously. The numbers seem to defy what we see on the streets - and even some unhoused are laughing at the results.
Bill Young and his friends could only laugh after learning about parts of the latest L.A. Homeless Count. For six years, Young and his friends said they have been homeless, living with their dogs in vans located in the parking lot of the Westminster Dog Park in Venice. And they're not alone. "I remember very well what I saw and where I saw it and what it was like," Rogers said."And to find out that LAHSA recorded zero people on the streets that night is heartbreaking and gut-wrenching.""Yes, we're questioning some of these numbers," said Dan Flamming, president of the nonprofit research group Economic Roundtable."Had 94 unsheltered in 2020 and this year's count had zero.
"I wouldn't count it out," Handel said when asked about LAHSA manipulating the numbers."Knowing how unhappy the county and city are with LAHSA it would not shock me."
