Metro Homelessness Drops Sharply | Los Angeles News

Metro’s homelessness numbers on transit are plummeting—down 57% since 2024—with just 395 to 517 unhoused individuals counted this January, far below last year’s over 1,000. Despite rising homelessness across L.A. County, Metro’s compassionate outreach and safety upgrades are paying off: they’ve housed over 350 people, slashed violent crime by 22%, and cut assaults on operators in half—all while boosting rider confidence and community trust.
