Homeless Count

Thousands of volunteers participate annually in the January point-in-time count of the tens of thousands of homeless youth and families, veterans of the armed forces, and men and women who are our neighbors. The information gleaned from the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count is used by policymakers, advocates, and service providers to understand better and implement solutions to address homelessness.

HOMELESSNESS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY

MEASURING RESULTS, MONITORING PERFORMANCE, AND BUILDING ACCOUNTABILITY

Data is a critical tool for shaping the homeless services system to prevent and, eventually, end homelessness. Since homelessness is not a static or uniform experience, collecting data about the numbers and characteristics of those people experiencing homelessness helps us best understand and serve this vulnerable population.

Homeless Count

Every year, we count the number of people experiencing homelessness throughout the county through the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count. The Count helps us better understand homelessness in our region and direct resources where they’re needed most. Thousands of volunteers canvas more than 80 cities and 200 communities across LA County.
