L.A. County got a record 21,631 homeless people into housing in the past year. But a breakdown of that number obtained by The Times shows a much more complicated picture of who gets housed and how.
In the pervasive gloom that has surrounded the results of L.A. County’s annual homeless count, officials have repeatedly pointed to one bit of bright news: A record number of people got off the streets and into housing last year.
Rosa Duran, who was living on the streets for more than three years, shows her excitement over her new apartment during the grand opening of the PATH Metro Villas, a supportive-housing development that houses formerly homeless individuals in Los Angeles. However, the homeless authority counted them as “placed” by the system because they received assistance that could — but did not always — include one-time financial aid, such as a security deposit for moving in or the activation fee for a utility.
Lynn said the number would probably be low because of recent evidence that people who lose their housing are getting stuck in homelessness longer. “Some number will not use rapid rehousing to move into permanent housing,” Lynn acknowledged. “We don’t have the information about where they went.”
