Overview
- LAHSA is conducting the HUD-required Point‑in‑Time count Jan. 20–22 across most of the county, with Long Beach, Pasadena and Glendale running separate audits.
- Volunteers are deployed over three nights—Tuesday in the San Fernando Valley and metro LA, Wednesday in the San Gabriel Valley and East LA, and Thursday in the Antelope Valley, West and South LA, and the South Bay/Harbor.
- This year’s operation adds app-based reporting, improved digital maps, simplified training and on‑site technical support, with county teams covering hazardous areas like basins, creeks and deserts.
- LAHSA also overhauled its youth and housing inventory counts, extending the youth survey by nine days and starting the sheltered inventory review earlier to strengthen validation.
- The count unfolds as providers warn of funding uncertainty and communities report immigration enforcement concerns, even as Pasadena officials say volunteer teams are full; LAHSA plans to release results in late spring or early summer.
