The Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority's count helps determine the distribution of funding and services to the unhoused.
The 2023 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, a point-in-time snapshot of homelessness in Los Angeles County that helps determine the distribution of funding and services to the unhoused, begins Tuesday and will continue through Thursday.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority's count will be conducted with the help of thousands of volunteers, with the results expected by late spring or early summer. It will begin in the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys on Tuesday, followed by counts in West and East Los Angeles on Wednesday. Thursday's count will take place in South Los Angeles, the Metro area and the Antelope Valley.
The 2022 homeless count by LAHSA revealed 41,980 unhoused people in the city of Los Angeles, up 1.7% from 2020. In the county, there were 69,144 unhoused people, an increase of 4.1%. In November, the council voted to explore creating liaison positions for LAHSA in an effort to improve communication and collaboration.
Officials also warned that the system was in a unique situation last year, with more one-time federal pandemic assistance programs ending. That could lead to more housing insecurity and fewer resources for rehousing systems to respond -- sparking larger tallies in the future, according to Kristina Dixon, then the acting co-executive director of LAHSA.
This year's count will begin a day after Va Lecia Adams Kellum, president and CEO of St. Joseph's Center, was appointed by the LAHSA commission as the authority's next CEO.
