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.

Book excerpt: This research paper identifies the problems society faces surrounding homelessness in Los Angeles County, and provides analysis of the current homelessness reduction efforts in place. The research problem identifies the need to gain an understanding of how the homeless population views implementation of this strategic planning from their perspective. The research designed will be mostly qualitative, centered around an ethnography, during which the researcher spends extensive time alongside different demographics within the homeless population, collecting empirical data through participant observation. There will also be a quantitative element of analysis, as the numbers from the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count will be evaluated to assess program effectiveness. Findings from the study will contribute to a better understanding of the success of homeless reduction efforts in Los Angeles County, and provide insight to how planning and implementation may be improved, through a ground level interpretation of the system's core users: people experiencing homelessness.

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.
