LA County is ending the homelessness of our unhoused neighbors in collaboration with cities and other local jurisdictions, various government agencies, nonprofit service providers, and more.
There is still time to sign up for this year’s Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count!
During the evenings of January 23, 24 and 25, thousands of volunteers will spread out countywide to tally unsheltered individuals, tents, vehicles, and makeshift shelters. This “point in time” count of our neighbors experiencing homelessness will help inform our policies and strategies that enable us to deliver housing and services where they are needed most. LAHSA needs 8,000 volunteers for this count. Can we count on you?
The Homeless Initiative is the central coordinating body for Los Angeles County’s effort to expand and enhance services for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their home. Created by the Board of Supervisors within the County's Chief Executive Office, the Homeless Initiative administers Measure H and other funding to provide outreach to people living on the streets; interim housing, such as temporary shelters; permanent housing such as subsidized apartments; and links to supportive services, such as healthcare, mental health care, substance use disorder treatment, job training and employment. It also offers homeless prevention services, and works to increase the supply of affordable housing. The Homeless Initiative is currently overseeing the County’s urgent response to the homelessness emergency, which includes Pathway Home.
