Last year, 23,664 people in L.A. County were placed in permanent housing, such as apartments, an 18% increase over 2022, according to data from the Homeless Initiative. An additional 37,505 people were moved to interim housing, which includes hotels, motels and some shelters, a 15% increase over 2022, according to the county.
The driving force of homelessness is a lack of affordable housing," said Todoroff, who has worked for the county for 35 years. "In Los Angeles County, we're currently experiencing a massive housing deficit of over 500,000 affordable homes."
