Despite substantial ongoing efforts to resolve homelessness in Los Angeles, data from Los Angeles County’s January 2023 point-in-time count found a 9 percent increase from the previous year in the estimated number of people experiencing homelessness countywide and a 10 percent increase in the City of Los Angeles (Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority [LAHSA], 2023). These sobering estimates underscore the need to continue efforts to address homelessness in the Los Angeles region and to monitor the progress of these efforts.
This report provides another year of results from the Los Angeles Longitudinal Enumeration and Demographic Survey (LA LEADS), a first-of-its-kind longitudinal data collection effort in three neighborhoods in the City of Los Angeles.
