A staggering one million residents of Los Angeles have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives, according to the latest L.A. Barometer survey released by the University of Southern California.
The annual survey highlights a dire situation in the nation’s largest county, revealing that 29% of L.A. County residents who moved in the past year were compelled to relocate due to rising rents. This data underscores the growing housing and affordability crisis facing Angelenos.
As the community grapples with these challenges, voters in Los Angeles will soon head to the polls to decide on several ballot measures aimed at addressing the homelessness crisis. These measures are expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of housing policies and support systems in the region.
The findings paint a bleak picture of the current housing landscape, emphasizing the urgent need for comprehensive solutions to ensure that all residents have access to stable and affordable housing.
