Service Planning Area(SPA) 6: South Los Angeles

† Youth Count data is in addition to Total Counts submitted to HUD for Point-in-Time street count estimates and are to be used for local planning purposes only.

The 2015 Youth Count was conducted on January 27, 2015. Since 2007, LAHSA has coordinated the Youth Count as part of the overall Homeless Count; it offers an estimate of how many unaccompanied minors (under age 18) and transition age youth (age 18-24) are experiencing homelessness throughout the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. Our goal is that data from the Youth Count be utilized for the planning of the Youth Coordinated Entry System (CES).

Hidden in Plain Sight: Knowing how many young people are homeless is critical to understanding their needs, creating effective responses, and measuring progress. However, homeless youth are often missed during traditional homeless counts as they do not typically mingle with the homeless adult population, are less likely to access traditional homeless services, and frequently “hide in plain sight” to avoid the stigma often associated with homelessness.

The Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count’s main purpose is to answer very important questions about homelessnes in Los Angeles:Purpose of the Count

● Street Count: Captures a point in time estimate of the unsheltered population in each Service Planning Area (SPA). ● Shelter Count: Captures the homeless population who are in emergency shelters, transitional housing, safe havens and vouchered hotels/motels. ● Youth Count: Collaborative process with youth stakeholders to better understand and identify homeless youth.

● Demographic Survey: Captures the demographic characteristics of the unsheltered homeless population in each Service Planning Area (SPA).

Components of the Count

● Increased census tract coverage for the street count with 89% of census tracts covered in 2015 versus 72% in 2013. ● 2,200 demographic surveys used to understand the characteristics of the unsheltered population. ● 61 of the 85 cities within the Los Angeles Continuum of Care participated in the Opt-in Program.

2015 Methodology Highlights

Understanding the Situation: In order to make a difference in the lives of homeless men, women, children and veterans, we need to know who they are and where they live. Beyond a simple count, we also identify basic demographic information of our homeless residents.
