Los Angeles Sees Decline in Homelessness for Second Year in a Row

Written By Jericho Kilpatrick

Encouraging progress: The 2025 Los Angeles Homeless Count shows a 4% decrease in homelessness across LA County and a 3.4% decrease in the City of Los Angeles.

For the second year in a row, the numbers are moving in the right direction — and that’s no accident. That’s the result of hard work and determination by numerous agencies and organizations across Los Angeles coming together to tackle the complex problem of homelessness.

We know progress is possible — and it's measurable.

  • 27,994 individuals were placed in permanent housing — up 2.5% from last year

  • 2,960 new permanent housing units were created

  • 11,146 people moved from interim to permanent housing — a 23.5% increase

  • The sheltered population rose 8.5% in LA County and 4.7% in the City of Los Angeles

At Weingart Center, we see the impact every day.

Through our interim and permanent supportive housing developments, we’re not only providing shelter — we’re offering a foundation for stability, connection, and long-term success. 

We’re proud to be part of the momentum — and committed to continuing the work.
