Slide1

Homeless Count Numbers and Permanent Supportive Housing

Erica Quintana

Midterm 2012Slide2

Housing Supply and Counts do not match

Homelessness in

Los Angeles:

LA

has the highest numbers of homelessness in the country an estimated

53,000.

About 12,000 of these individuals are chronically homeless or veterans for whom permanent supportive housing is the reported to be the best answer.

The hypothesis of this project, which was

supported,

was that permanent supportive housing is

concentrated in the City of Los Angeles.

Many cities have homeless numbers that are not negligible but no permanent supportive housing to address the needs of the homeless in these

areas (e.g. Pomona and El Monte).Slide3

LAHSA homeless Count Numbers

These are actual count numbers from LAHSA’s count in 2011. The next count is January 2013. The previous count included 34 cities or communities that opted in to count. In this next count there will be 67 communities that count their homeless. This will provide richer data and allow for better analysis of the PSH geographic distribution.Slide4
Slide5

Census Estimated Numbers

These numbers are estimated via the census. These are just estimates.

It is important to get these numbers from actual enumerations like through the LAHSA bi-annual homeless count. However, some cities decline to participate.Slide6
Slide7

The CountySlide8
Slide9

There are places with a huge mismatch: PomonaSlide10

Places with a mismatch continued: El MonteSlide11

There is clear mismatch of resources across LA County

Most of the PSH are densely located in the City of Los Angeles.

The high homeless population and proliferation of service providers largely explain this phenomenon

Even with an explanation for the “why” of the situation there is still a need in many parts of the county for permanent supportive housing to address the needs of the homeless.

Oftentimes homeless individuals do not have means of transportation to get to cities that could provide more support for their situationSlide12

Next StepsDraw buffers and analyze the gaps between homeless numbers and numbers of PSH units

Try to get data into census tract format to add it additional data about poverty levels, community engagement etc.

Create an index or attribute that will help identify what cities to target in improving PSH

stock including things like whether or not the city has its own Public Housing Authority.Slide13
