LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority Monday was expected to release the results of the 2015 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count.
The number, which will be the largest in the nation, will be presented at 4 p.m. at the LAHSA Commission Meeting.
The LAHSA was created in 1993 to address the problems of homelessness in LA County.
Members coordinate and manage over $70 million annually in federal, state, county and city funds for programs providing shelter, housing and services to homeless persons.
This is Picture From Google Maps, it's a lot worse now than the picture shows, people actually have tent's pitched all over.
People are being transported here from other states. We have over a third of all welfare and illegals here.
$70 million. One county.
I wonder how many homeless we would have in two years, if all the support for the homeless vanished overnight.
There’s an old saying.
If you like something, subsidize it.
Homelessness is never a priority of the left when a liberal is president.
A while back John and Ken of kfiam640 did their show from a area near Staples in LA.
What homeless problem ?
Can't possible be a homeless problem...there are only homeless when there is a GOP POTUS .
90% of homeless people WANT to be homeless. Spending money on them is a waste of time. Many are mentally ill.
FIVE MYTHS ABOUT HOMELESSNESS
1. Homelessness is usually a long-term condition.
To the contrary, the most common length of time that someone is homeless is one or two days, and half the people who enter the homeless shelter system will leave within 30 days, never to return.
Long-term homelessness is relatively rare. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, about 2 million people in the United States were homeless at some point in 2009 (meaning they stayed overnight in a shelter or in a place not meant for human habitation). But on any given day, only about 112,000 people fit the federal definition of “chronic homelessness,” which applies to those who have been continuously homeless for a year or more, or are experiencing at least their fourth episode of homelessness in three years.
Nearly all of the long-term homeless have tenuous family ties and some kind of disability, whether it is a drug or alcohol addiction, a mental illness, or a physical handicap. While they make up a small share of the homeless population, they are disproportionately costly to society: They consume nearly 60 percent of the resources spent on emergency and transitional shelter for adults, and they occupy hospitals and jails at high rates.

Right?
Many of them won’t observe the prohibitions on alcohol and drugs that most shelters impose. And as long as they’re leeching off the public square they figure they might as well be in a pleasant climate.
Plus, if you’re going to be homeless in the lower 48, SO CAL is a great place to stay warm and dry almost all year long!
Thanks for posting the google link. Here’s another. For those who rarely visit US cities, the view from Google’s car driving through LA Skid Row can be heartbreaking. Depending on the version of your internet browser, you may be able to also change your photo date within the range of 2007 to present. If you want to see Obamanomics in action, give it a try. If the below link doesn’t work for you, search for 326 E 6th St Los Angeles, California or alternatively, Skid Row Los Angeles, California.
Where's the psychic prediction of Edgar Cayce when ya need it?
The vast majority of any money allocated as per these formulas will flow to fund union government employees who administer the money. It is a total scam.
