LA Homeless Services Authority

There are so many steps and people involved in helping one person move into a home, and we would all do it again to make sure one less person is on the streets. Thank you to every provider, social worker, and outreach team. Congratulations, Nick, another person housed.

The Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) program has helped place over 100,000 Californians into permanent housing. Bring California Home celebrates this milestone and thanks state leaders for investing in proven solutions.

Continued support from California will be important to keep this progress going. Read more: calmatters.org/commentary/202…

Homelessness has decreased over the past two years—but sustaining that progress is extremely difficult without adequate resources.

Funding cuts are already impacting homeless services across LA and California, putting critical progress at risk.

LAHSA is improving how we collect HC data with QuickCapture, faster, more accurate, and safer for volunteers. The results in Los Angeles have been so effective that other cities are now studying and adopting this approach. Learn more: link in bio.

LAHSA, as CoC lead, is focused on one goal: making it faster and easier for people experiencing homelessness to get into housing through strong data, equitable CES, regional alignment, and system coordination. Proud to serve the largest Continuum of Care in the country.

“I make myself available 24/7 because people experiencing homelessness don’t have set hours.” Staff like Jessica embody the LAHSA spirit. This work has no off switch. Jessica, thank you for your leadership and for helping change lives across the County.

Helping Angelenos achieve stability is deeply fulfilling work for LAHSA. Many of us take something as simple as a shower or restroom for granted, but offering that dignity and privacy to clients makes the work of bringing people indoors profoundly meaningful.

Meet people where they are; that’s the empathy needed in homeless services. If it means sitting on the ground, our outreach team does it. At LAHSA, making sure clients are seen and understood is always a top priority.

The cubicles of the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority are filled with unsung heroes, including Jade, our Communications Specialist. She keeps the public, elected officials, and staff informed, shaping the narrative of homeless services. Thank you, Jade.

Watch Cynthia's story: youtu.be/SqwtcNa3b2A

“Would I recommend the shelter to anybody? Yes!” Cynthia, once unhoused, found safety in interim housingwith her two dogs—and now has a home of her own. With help from LAHSA and Hope for Home, she began her path to permanent housing. Interim housing is the way home.

Each night of the Homeless Count ends with validation to ensure accuracy. Deployment Site Coordinators review tallies with volunteer counters to verify the data they collected—the first filter in the process. Thank you to every volunteer for dedicating your night to this effort.

The @CalHFA homeownership program deadline is March 16 this year!

“My story recently changed—from homeless to homeowner.” Meet Tiffany, Advisory Group Coordinator for LAHSA’s Lived Experience Advisory Board (LEAB). She helps elevate the voices of unhoused Angelenos and shares vital resources, including the @CalHFA homeownership program.

Accuracy is a top priority at LAHSA, and we’re accepting proposals under our RFP for Homeless Count Professional Services for Statistical and Demographic Surveying. We invite qualified experts to submit a proposal. The submission deadline is 4/27/2026!
