LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) announced on Jan. 14 that its annual homeless count will be postponed for one month due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, now taking place Feb. 22–24.
The effort, known as the point-in-time count or Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, is essential to understanding how large the region’s homelessness crisis has become. The count must be conducted by Continuum of Care providers to receive federal funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
