Los Angeles, CA — Today, Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn released the following statement on the 2025 LA County Homeless Count which showed a 9.5% drop in unsheltered homelessness across the county.

“With thousands fewer people on our streets, these numbers are encouraging. It is clear to me our focus on bringing people inside by clearing encampments is paying off and programs like the city’s Inside Safe and the county’s Pathway Home are working. These strategies are not only compassionate, but they are also the most effective tools we have in addressing homelessness and we are seeing the impact in real time.

As the County builds out our new homeless services department, I want us to double down on these encampment operations and get more people off the streets and safely inside as quickly as humanly possible.”
