Homelessness and Health Care

L.A. County has the largest homeless population in the nation, with over half living in the Skid Row area of downtown L.A. Homeless adults and families face multiple barriers in accessing needed health and mental health care. The complexities of providing the full range of services, such as housing, mental health, substance abuse, medical and social services, for the 35,000 chronically homeless individuals in the county are immense. This section collects local, state and federal documents to provide an understanding of the issues to move toward joint action to find solutions for this vulnerable population. In addition, the Institute for the Study of Homelessness and Poverty, acquired from the Weingart Center Association by United Way of Greater Los Angeles, has an excellent compilation of data resources on homelessness.
