This week LAHSA released the first homeless count numbers in two years. They found that unhoused Angelenos identifying as Latino has grown by 26% since 2020.
. Because of tech and language barriers, she said, “People were being denied, or were marked non-responsive.”
UCLA’s Melissa Chinchilla said, “Not having access to some of those extra benefits that were coming down during COVID-19 … definitely meant that a lot of folks in the Latino community here in Los Angeles might not have had access to resources that may have helped them maintain their housing.”The rapid growth in Latinos experiencing homelessness took place at the same time rates were dropping for many other groups.
