LAHSA has been working with Inner City Law Center on the 2nd annual Weekend to End Homelessness. The Weekend to End Homelessness is a weekend-long series of community engagement events throughout LA County designed to bring people together that are interested in ending the homelessness crisis to educate, inspire and get them connected with people and organizations already doing great work. Each of the 8 County-Wide Service Planning Areas has a team of local leaders working together from every level of government, along with a variety of direct service providers, and individuals representing a diverse pool of affinity groups designing an experience unique to the needs of their respective communities. The event will take place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the weekend of October 4, 5, 6.
The Veterans Administration Greater Los Angeles Community and Reintegration Services is sponsoring a series of events in August 2019 to enroll homeless veterans in the Coordinated Entry System to get them connected to a wide variety of services. The VA events will be held in 6 of LA County's Service Planning Areas: SPAs 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8.
