- Family homelessness is officially down in LA. Why so many don’t believe it
Los Angeles reports a 27% decrease in unsheltered families experiencing homelessness, but providers argue the count underrepresents reality due to funding cuts, declining resources, and the hidden nature of family homelessness (e.g., living in cars, motels, or couch-surfing). The LA Homeless Services Authority acknowledges the decline may reflect reduced access to resource centers rather than actual improvement.
