Key Highlights

The total estimated number of homeless persons enumerated in January 2015 was 41,174, an increase of 5,650 people, or 16%, from 2013 (which found 35,524).

Despite the increase in overall homelessness, homelessness among veterans remained essentially flat (from 4,007 in 2013 to 4,016 in 2015).

70% of the total homeless population, or 28,948, were unsheltered, an increase of 28% since 2013. Among the unsheltered population, the Point-In-Time Count found an 84% increase in the number of

tents, encampments, makeshift shelters, and vehicles since 2013 (5,153 to 9,148). The sheltered population of 12,226 decreased by 5% since 2013. The total number of family members grew from 6,678 to 7,505, a 12% increase since 2013. Across L.A. County the total number of veterans has decreased by 6% since 2013 (4,618 to 4,363-

including Glendale, Long Beach and Pasadena). Service Planning Areas

Every SPA in LA County experienced an increase in homelessness since 2013.

SPA 4 (11,681) and SPA 6 (7,513) continue to have the highest number of homeless persons in the LA Continuum.

The largest increases were seen in SPA 7 (47%), SPA 8 (39%), and SPA 1 (33%).

City of Los Angeles There are 25,686 people experiencing homelessness in the

City of Los Angeles, 62% of the total homeless population in the Los Angeles Continuum of Care.

Homelessness in the City of Los Angeles increased by 12% since 2013. Homelessness in LA CoC areas outside the City of LA increased 23.6%

Subpopulation Estimates The estimated number of Chronically Homeless Individuals increased by 65.3%. Changes to HUD Guidance definitions for subpopulations will impact future estimates. The Survivors of Domestic Violence estimate increased dramatically. The HUD criterion for this category

expanded to include adults who have experienced dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, in addition to domestic violence, but it is unknown whether these elements drove the increase.

Los Angeles Homeless Count

4

The Greater Los Angeles Homeless Counts main purpose is to answer very important questions about homelessness in Los Angeles:

How many homeless people are there?

What are the demographic characteristics of homeless people?

Where are homeless people staying?

Purpose of the Count

5

Street Count: Capturing a point in time estimate of the unsheltered population in each Service Planning Area (SPA).

Shelter Count: Capturing the homeless population who are in emergency shelters, transitional housing, safe havens and vouchered hotels/motels.

Demographic Survey: Interviews of a sample of unsheltered homeless individuals to better understand the characteristics and experiences of homeless persons.

Youth Count: Collaborative process with youth stakeholders to better understand and identify homeless youth.

Components of the Count

6

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) considers someone homeless if they are staying in one of the following places:

1. Places not meant for human habitation, such as cars, parks, sidewalks, and abandoned buildings;

2. Emergency shelter; or

3. Transitional housing for homeless persons who originally came from the streets or shelters.

Methodology Highlights

7

Increased census tract coverage for the street count with 89% of census tracts covered in 2015 versus 72% in 2013.

Estimates are based on demographic surveys, in which homeless people share information about their experiences, conditions or backgrounds.

Questions are not mutually exclusive and do not indicate that having a particular experience or condition led people to homelessness.

HUDs definition for domestic violence was expanded in 2015, which likely drove the demographic increase, a factor that requires further review.

24

Impacting Factors

Housing Affordability Crisis Californias lowest-income households spend 2/3 of

their income on housing. 1.5 million low-income households -- half of them in

Los Angeles and Orange counties and the Inland Empire -- do not have access to housing they can afford.

High rents are driving more Californians into poverty (Per the California Housing Partnership Report April 2015).

25

Impacting Factors

Housing Affordability Crisis The average monthly rent in the Los Angeles region

($1,716 in Dec 2014) makes it one of the top 10 highest places to rent in the US (Per the USC Casden Forecast 2014).

Next to comparable cities, the cost of living in Los Angeles is among the highest. Yet, Angelenos earn less than in any other comparable city (Per a report by Economic Roundtable -March 2015).

26

Impacting Factors

Wages and Employment In the City of L.A., 723,000 employed, working age adults

earn less than $15.25 an hour. 22% of those earning below $15.25 live in poverty.

L.A. Countys unemployment rate of 7.5% is still above the statewide rate of 7.1% and significantly above the national unemployment rate of 5.6%.

27

Mitigating Factors

Without tremendous work housing people over the past several years, more would be homeless.

populations, homelessness among veterans remained basically flat from 2013 (4,007 to 4,016).

Across L.A. County the total number of veterans has decreased by 6% since 2013 (4,618 to 4,363)*

This demonstrates the impact of increased federal and local resources to house homeless veterans.

Since 2013, 7,500 veterans have been housed.**

Homeless Count Shows Increase in Los Angeles County Homelessness Since 2013; Veteran Homelessness Count Is Flat

Economic Climate and Lack of Affordable Housing Cited as Key Factors; Agency Outlines New Initiatives to Amplify Efforts

Los Angeles, CA (May 11, 2014) Today, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), the City-County agency tasked with addressing homelessness in Los Angeles County, released the results of its biennial Los Angeles Homeless Count conducted in January 2015. The Count was the largest census in the country, benefitting from the support of more than 5,500 volunteers. Amidst Los Angeles challenging economic climate, the data shows a 16 percent increase in the number of homeless men, women and children in the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (Los Angeles County excluding Glendale, Pasadena and Long Beach) since 2013, showing 41,174 homeless persons in 2015, compared to 35,524 in 2013. Despite the increase in the general population, the number of homeless veterans has remained essentially flat since 2013 (4,007 to 4,016). Including the other parts of the County, the overall increase in homelessness is 12 percent since 2013. Other key results from the 2015 Homeless Count include:

! The total number of family members increased 12 percent from 6,678 to 7,505. ! The sheltered population was 12,226. ! The unsheltered population was 28,948. ! The number of tents, makeshift shelters and vehicles seen during the Count increased by 85 percent

since 2013. The demand for homeless assistance has increased in Los Angeles and several recent studies have confirmed our regions housing and affordability crisis, said Peter Lynn, LAHSA Executive Director. We are working diligently to target resources and interventions to create a sustainable, systemic infrastructure to house our homeless neighbors. No growth in veteran homelessness demonstrates the positive impact of increased federal and local resources to house homeless veterans, but shows a serious challenge of new veterans becoming homeless. Los Angeles has housed 7,500 veterans since 2013, but we will need to increase that rate to end veteran homelessness. "Ending homelessness is one of my top priorities as Mayor, and we've made significant progress by permanently housing more than 3,700 homeless veterans, rolling out our Coordinated Entry System to maximize resources and bringing new leadership to LAHSA," said Mayor Eric Garcetti. "In January, I participated in this years LAHSA Homeless Count and saw firsthand the increase in our homeless population, showing that despite our progress, we must do more to end homelessness. Thats why I am expanding our system for housing homeless people and funding for affordable housing. To prevent people from becoming homeless, I'm proposing an increase in the minimum wage and calling for more housing and services for our most vulnerable Angelenos. And we must deepen our commitment to a regional approach to homelessness because this issue requires a strong partnership across all levels of government, the private sector, non-profits and the philanthropic community."

It is troubling to hear of this increase in the number of homeless persons in Los Angeles County, said Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas. It is imperative that local efforts are re-doubled to secure more affordable housing and permanent supportive housing for our residents, to bring about a living wage for households struggling to make ends meet, and to put in place crisis response systems that prevent and end homelessness in a coordinated manner. Since 2009, more than 1,500 units in the Second District alone have been built. But if we are to end homelessness, we need to ensure that permanent housing and services funds continue to target homeless persons in the regions with the highest needs. California was one of the hardest hit states in the country during the economic recession, suffering high unemployment and high job losses. There is a lag in rebound and the working poor and low-income individuals have been hit particularly hard, with the trifecta of unemployment, stagnant wages and a lack of affordable housing. According to the California Housing Partnership Report, April 2015 Californias lowest-income households spend 2/3 of their income on housing, leaving little money for food, healthcare, transportation and other needs and 1.5 million low-income households -- half of them in Los Angeles and Orange counties and the Inland Empire -- do not have access to housing they can afford. According to the USC Casden Forecast 2014 - the average monthly rent in the Los Angeles region makes it one of the top 10 highest places to rent in the US. And per the Economic Roundtable, March 2015 - in the City of Los Angeles, 723,000 employed, working age adults earn less than $15.25 an hour. 22 percent of those earning below $15.25 live in poverty. LAHSA is part of a robust network of city and county agencies, nonprofits, civic and community leaders who have a shared commitment to serving and reducing the homeless population throughout Los Angeles, said Kerry Morrison, LAHSA Commission Chair. We believe the numbers would be higher were it not for the hard work of our many partners that help homeless persons gain access to safe, stable housing. As new collaborations form and systems of coordination continue to improve, we are better situated than ever before to address this critical issue and improve the quality of life for the men, women and children in need of our support. There are strategic initiatives in process to improve coordination throughout the City and County of Los Angeles, said Lynn. These include the Homeless Family Solutions System to provide rapid re-housing for homeless families, the Coordinated Entry System (CES) to prioritize permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless; and the Veteran Surge to end veteran homelessness by December 2015. We have strong collaborative partnerships and smart tools in place to make best use of our resources, but Los Angeles is a complex region and needs to have funding commensurate with the scale and scope of our homeless population.

The count is a point-in-time enumeration that seeks to document the number of people without a permanent, habitable place to call home. The data collected is critical to assessing strategies and funding decisions by City and County policymakers seeking to successfully meet the needs of homeless individuals and families. About the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) is a joint powers authority of the City and County of Los Angeles, created in 1993 to address the problems of homelessness in Los Angeles County.
