Editorial: L.A.’s homeless numbers are grim. We must keep building housing and expanding services

LA Times  

An encampment in downtown Los Angeles along an offramp to the 110 Freeway in 2019. Especially alarming is the 18% jump from 2022 in the number of chronically homeless people in the county These are the most vulnerable individuals in the homeless population — the ones who have been unhoused for at least a year and struggle with a mental health issue, a substance use disorder, a physical disability or a combination of these problems. We need to create substantially more affordable and permanent supportive housing and expand homelessness prevention efforts so people won’t become homeless. “Maybe there are some things we need to be doing differently.” Newly homeless people often fell out of housing mostly because they couldn’t afford the rent. Chronically homeless people need housing with services to help them cope with a mental illness or substance addiction or physical ailment and stay housed.
