Multiple efforts are ongoing to address homelessness in Los Angeles County, involving collaboration between government agencies, nonprofits, and the private sector. It's important to note that the situation is dynamic, with various factors contributing to the complexity of the problem. But many good people and organizations are working to address the immediate needs of LA residents who are unhoused, and to advance community interventions that can reduce the number of our neighbors falling into homelessness.
