Yesterday I sat in on a briefing with the Mayor of Los Angeles regarding the homeless count for 2024. The good news is homelessness is down by 10.4%! Her team also shared a phone number for people facing or at risk of eviction in order to prevent more people ending up unhoused. 213-584-1808. Please Share with others. Key results from the 2024 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count: - People are moving off the streets. Street homelessness in Los Angeles has decreased by 10% – an unprecedented amount - The amount of people in shelters has increased by 17%. That means that more people are moving indoors. - The amount of makeshift shelters, cars, vans and tents have decreased overall. - More Angelenos are moving into PERMANENT housing than ever
