With a 4% drop in homelessness & unsheltered homelessness down 9.5%, this year’s Homeless Count is trending downward in Los Angeles County. While this trend is encouraging, challenges remain. Continued focus on collaboration, prevention, & housing is required for more progress.

Shelter does more for clients than simply provide safety and a warm place to sleep. It helps people remember that they matter and are cared for. That reminder can be enough to keep someone going from one day to the next until they are placed in a permanent home.

Everyone deserves housing—regardless of background, race, or gender. There is no room for discrimination in the work we do at LAHSA, and we’re proud to see that standard upheld by our partners. You can see that commitment in action through Christina’s story.

A heart to help is something so many smaller agencies have—but many lack the funding. That’s why LAHSA awarded grants to Small Agencies and Faith-Based Organizations: with a little support, they can create big change. Congratulations to our second winner, Maymuna 13 Corporation!
