The Provider Alliance to End Homelessness will host its first public, and virtual, Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate Forum on Homelessness on March 8, 2022, 5pm to 7pm. Our Mayoral Forum will feature Representative Karen Bass, City Councilmember Joe Buscaino, City Councilmember De Leon, and City Attorney Mike Feuer, all of whom have committed to participate in this virtual forum.
Homelessness ranked number one with 94 percent of individuals selecting it as a serious or very serious problem, according to the poll published on December 1, 2021 by the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Business Council. The Provider Alliance to End Homelessness Forum will be a critical opportunity for candidates to communicate directly with homeless service providers, policy experts, and members with lived experience about the issue that is defining the region.

CONTINUE READINGDear South Los Angeles and Neighbors, The 2022 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count planning is underway and postponed to late February due to rising Covid-19 cases. In February, thousands of community members across the greater Los Angeles area will be counting their neighbors experiencing homelessness. The Los Angeles Homeless Count will be held across the South Los Angeles ( SPA 6 ) region on Thursday, February 24th, 2022, from 8:00 pm - 12 am. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic last year, we could not administer a count; therefore, a robust Count must be conducted this year to help paint a picture of the developments, trends, and shifts in the fight to end homelessness in LA County. We can only be achieved this with your support and having 700 volunteers to help canvass the entire South Los Angeles ( SPA 6 ) region on the evening of February 24th, 2022. Please consider joining us at one of the South LA County deployment sites shown below. No prior experience is required, and volunteers will be fully trained. This year, we ask you to organize a team of trusted individuals and sign up together as a team of three. On the night of the count, you can arrive as a team and stay within your safety bubble as you count your communities. LAHSA has also partnered with Akido Connect to utilize a new smartphone mobile app to follow the CDC guidelines.
