Los Angeles County's Homelessness Initiative (HI): Annual Performance Evaluation: Year Three Outcomes

In February 2016, the LA County (LA County) Board (Board) formally approved a comprehensive set of strategies to combat the Countys homeless crisis. Coordinated by the CEOs Homeless Initiative (HI), the HI strategies are the product of a collaborative process that involved not only County but also nonCounty stakeholders, including cities, municipal leaders, community organizations, advocates, and concerned citizens. The strategies are grouped into six focus areas seeking to (a) prevent homelessness, (b) expand subsidized housing, (c) increase income among those who are homeless or are at risk of becoming homeless, (d) enhance homeless case management and supportive services, (e) create a coordinated homeless services system, and (f) expand affordable and homeless housing.
