Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count Results Press Conference 7/14/25

The City of Los Angeles held a press conference on July 14, 2025, to release the results of the 2025 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count. The data showed a 4% decline in homelessness across Los Angeles County, with a 3.4% decrease in the city itself, marking two consecutive years of reduction. Unsheltered homelessness dropped significantly, attributed to coordinated encampment resolution efforts and increased permanent housing placements, nearly doubling since the passage of Measure H. The count utilized digital data collection methods, improving accuracy and efficiency. Speakers emphasized the importance of continued political alignment, funding, and expansion of affordable housing to sustain momentum. Personal stories highlighted the impact of housing initiatives, while experts underscored the need for comprehensive services addressing health and social needs. The meeting also touched on policy changes affecting veterans' housing vouchers and ongoing challenges such as affordable housing shortages and systemic barriers.
