Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young and Homeless in Hollywood examines the social and spacial dynamics that contributed to the construction of a new social imaginary--"homeless youth"--in the United States during a period of accelerated modernization from the mid 1970s to the 1990s. Susan Ruddick draws from a range of theoretical frameworks and empirical treatments that deal with the relationship between placemaking and the politics of social identity.

Download or read book Permanent Supportive Housing in Los Angeles County written by Sarah Hunter and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the rising supply of permanent supportive housing (PSH) in Los Angeles and the growing focus on policies and reforms aimed at increasing this housing stock, there is a notable lack of information on the number of units available or under construction, the funding sources related to these efforts, and barriers to construction. Without this information, policymakers and services providers can neither evaluate the efficacy of policy interventions nor, more importantly, adequately place and serve the unhoused. Permanent Supportive Housing in Los Angeles County: A Map-Based Tool is a database that aggregates administrative data from various city, county, and state agencies; real estate databases; media reports; and other sources. To the authors' knowledge, it represents the first comprehensive attempt to combine financing, land use, and service operation records for PSH projects across all of Los Angeles County into a publicly available map-based tool that allows the data to be sorted, filtered, or downloaded by the user. The purpose of the tool is to provide a comprehensive set of information to facilitate planning, policymaking, and research related to the supply of PSH aimed at addressing chronic homelessness in the Los Angeles region. The authors expect that the database will be maintained and updated over time and welcome contributions and corrections from users, who may have more accurate knowledge of project specifics than the authors could glean from public records.

Book excerpt: Throughout California and major urban centers across the United States, the country is experiencing unprecedented levels of homelessness. In Los Angeles County, specifically, leaders and public agencies alike are scrambling to find solutions to this major source of contention. An unstable housing market in addition to the lack of mental health and substance abuse treatment have been linked to the high increase in rates of homelessness. In the last decade, Los Angeles County has witnessed a sharp increase in homeless rates. According to the Los Angeles County Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), there are over 66,000 homeless individuals in Los Angeles County (2020). Urban centers like San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego are facing ever challenging obstacles to tackle this complex problem. Some researchers argue that one of the root causes is the lack of affordable housing. Others argue that mental health and substance abuse are the driving force behind the homeless epidemic. This paper seeks to identify both of the major factors contributing to homelessness and also potential solutions. It also seeks to critique current policies that have exacerbated the problem and other policies that have failed. The research study proposed will incorporate a quantitative method in its design. The proposed study can be best described as explanatory research intended to better understand homelessness in Los Angeles County. The study will use a self-reported questionnaire for a non-numerical understanding of the phenomenon. It will incorporate quantitative data to better capture the personal attributes of the homeless. This type of data is generally difficult to capture. Therefore, this study's strength is its ability to gather data that would otherwise be strenuous to capture. In the last several years the state of California and the city and county of Los Angeles have passed new legislation that has directly or indirectly affected homelessness. The proposed study seeks to make a link between failed policies and the increase in homelessness. Homelessness has increased 13% in the last year (LAHSA, 2020). Clearly, legislation like Measure HHH has had little impact on Homelessness. Lastly, the study may point to future directions in public policy development and implementation. By studying the data captured legislators can consider the hurdles the homeless population faces.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the dramatic scope of homelessness in Los Angeles County, there is not a credible, comprehensive source on the housing stock that is available for addressing this issue. In this project, the authors aimed to bring together an unparalleled amount of data on the current supply of housing in Los Angeles County to address homelessness. They take a broad view of housing that incorporates not only such resources as interim or shelter settings and permanent supportive housing, but also deed-restricted affordable housing developments as well as residential settings that address physical, mental, and substance use treatment needs. In this report, the authors describe how they combined data from city, county, state, and federal agencies to develop an interactive, map-based tool. They also discuss the broader context of their work from interviews conducted with staff from county and other government agencies, nonprofit homeless service providers, and other research entities. The purpose of this project is to provide a comprehensive set of information about current housing resources to facilitate planning, policymaking and research related to the supply of housing resources that aim to address homelessness in the Los Angeles region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homelessness in Los Angeles has burst its traditional borders. These days, downtown's Skid Row is only the ugly epicenter of a staggering problem that radiates outward for more than one hundred miles. Homelessness has spread to gloomy underpasses and dark side streets, to parks, libraries, and subway platforms, so that there are now more than 50,000 people who lack a regular place to sleep in Los Angeles County. From Long Beach to Hollywood to Beverly Hills to Lancaster, no Angeleno can credibly claim to be unaware of the squalid tent cities, the sprawling encampments, or the despair and misery displayed there. In March 2018, the Editorial Board of the Los Angeles Times published a powerful six-part series describing the problem in this city--one that is mirrored to one degree or another up and down the West Coast, from Portland to San Francisco to San Diego. The editorials explain who LA's homeless people really are and how they got there, call for changes in policy toward the mentally ill, and urge weak-kneed politicians to be leaders in the struggle to provide housing for the homeless. All six editorials have now been bound together into a single vital and disturbing book.

Book excerpt: Homelessness is a global issue and some of the wealthiest cities are overwhelmed with extreme poverty. There are approximately 47 thousand homeless people who are living on the streets or in shelters in Los Angeles County. The metropolitan area in downtown Los Angeles has the highest population of homelessness in the Los Angeles County (Kriegler, Berk, 2010). Most of homeless population suffers from physical and mental disorders (Piliavin, Sosin, Westerfelt, Matsueda, 1993). Some of them become homeless due to personal history such as immigration status or former prisons. In 2018, the average sale price of a Los Angeles County home is around $585,000, which prevents an individual or family from affording a home. Also when there is a lack of employment opportunities stability is challenged, which leads to people losing their homes. These facts alone represents the visible need to address the growing rate homelessness. All levels of government should allocate funds and collaborate on how to reduce homelessness in LA County by developing a strategic plan.
