Homelessness declined last year in Hollywood and Venice, but not Skid Row, new Rand study finds
Originally published by the Los Angeles Times, this story examines RAND research showing declines in homelessness in Hollywood and Venice, while progress remained uneven across Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles Times reported on new RAND research examining changes in homelessness across several Los Angeles neighborhoods.
According to the research, homelessness decreased by 25% in Hollywood and 25% in Venice over the past two years. South Los Angeles and Central Los Angeles also experienced declines, while Skid Row saw little change during the same period.
The findings provide a more localized view of homelessness in Los Angeles, showing how broader countywide trends can vary significantly from one neighborhood to another.
St. Joseph Center provides housing and homeless services in several of the communities included in the research, including Venice, South Los Angeles, and Central Los Angeles.
