Homelessness is on the rise in cities throughout the US. While networks of organizations work to remedy this problem, their focus is expanding beyond mitigation to include prevention measures. To this end, organizations like Understanding Homelessness have created interactive maps of the US that attempt to capture the breadth of the homelessness epidemic. These maps are valuable tools that provide information that allow governments and nonprofits to see where and how people experiencing homelessness live, predict where there might be an increase in homelessness, and target services more effectively.

Hi Scott,

Thank you for sharing these homelessness-related links for Los Angeles County. Indeed, homelessness is an issue with lots of social and economic consequences here in Los Angeles County. Property tax increases in city of Los Angeles to support a housing initiative for homeless people is one such example, among several others.

Talk to you soon,

Ricardo
