 About 100 people attended a May 31 invitation-only event outside the PATH (People Assisting the Homeless) offices at 340 N. Madison Avenue where the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority released the results of its 2018 Los Angeles homeless count. Some 8,500 volunteers over three days in January covered every census tract in the county. The results, along with thousands of interviews with homeless people, have been under analysis by statisticians at USC.

For the first time in four years the numbers went down instead of up. The gains were modest - 3% fewer homeless in the county, 5% fewer in the city - but at least the motion was in the right direction.

By now everyone has seen the gross numbers. For the county, the homeless are down from 55,048 in January 2017 to 53,195 in January 2018; for the city, it was a little better, dropping from 38,138 to 31,516. We will dig into the details further on.

For the first time in 4 years, the number of people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles decreased.

●        In Los Angeles County 53,195 people are experiencing homelessness, a 3% decrease from 2017.

●        In the City of Los Angeles, 31,516 people are experiencing homelessness, a 5% decrease from 2017.

●        In the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC), which comprises LA County excluding Glendale, Pasadena, and Long Beach CoCs, 50,385 people are experiencing homelessness, a 4% decrease from 2017.

●        The Homeless Count is a point-in-time snapshot across 3 nights in January and does not estimate the number or demographic characteristics of people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles over the year.
