County’s homelessness numbers are climbing again—up 1.2% countywide to over 73,000 and 3.4% in the city, hitting 45,000—despite earlier progress. LAHSA says the rise isn’t statistically significant, but the real crisis? A 36% drop in people moving from temporary to permanent housing, tied to funding cuts for Time Limited Subsidies. Now, 24% more people are cycling back to the streets after being housed. Compounding the problem, L.A. County pulled $300 million from LAHSA to form its own department, and HUD cut LAHSA’s funding entirely—prompting a lawsuit. The system meant to lift people off the streets is crumbling under funding, policy, and political shifts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
