LOS ANGELES — After a yearlong hiatus during the pandemic, thousands of volunteers will fan out across Los Angeles County this week to conduct the annual count of the region's homeless population.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) canceled the event last year and then delayed it last month because of COVID-19 surges spawned by the delta and omicron variants.
Known as the "point-in-time" homeless count, the survey helps Los Angeles County determine where to distribute resources for homeless people and allocate state and federal funding.
