Thanks to the support and collaboration of thousands of community members, we have the momentum and new resources to prevent and combat homelessness all across the region. With the creation of the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative and passage by voters of the landmark Measure H sales tax – which is raising about $355 million annually for ten years – we are actively accelerating and expanding the County’s strategies to combat homelessness through an unprecedented countywide movement.
Thanks to partnerships among nonprofit service providers, the faith community, neighborhoods, County departments, cities, and countless others, the number of families and individuals moving from the streets into housing has increased dramatically. Thousands of individuals and families already have been helped through a major expansion of outreach, emergency shelter, rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing, as well as benefits advocacy for homeless disabled adults – in all parts of the County.
