Thousands Hit the Streets for L.A.’s Annual Homeless Count
Thousands of volunteers took to the streets across Los Angeles overnight for the annual countywide homeless count, an effort designed to capture accurate data on people experiencing homelessness. From Skid Row to communities throughout L.A. County, teams documented where people are living unsheltered to help guide funding and policy decisions.
Organizers say the data is critical for securing federal, state, county, and city resources and improving outreach efforts. This year’s count included more than 4,600 volunteers across 150 locations.
While local investments continue, officials noted that funding cuts at higher levels of government could affect progress. Even so, leaders stressed that reliable data remains a key step toward connecting people with housing and services.
