According to NPR, in 2020, homelessness in Los Angeles County increased for the third time in four years. The annual homeless count showed that 66,433 people lived on the streets, in shelters, and in vehicles within the county. Homelessness increased despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent to provide housing to those in need.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/blog/tags/housing" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">housing</a></div></div></div> Fri, 23 Apr 2021 21:05:58 +0000 Carolyn 519 at
