Back to: Address potential adverse impacts to housing affordability and people experiencing homelessness.
Action: Support persons experiencing homelessness along the river by coordinating outreach and by building new permanent supportive housing.
Permanent supportive housing is housing coupled with a range of supportive services, with no time limit as long as tenants meet certain basic obligations, such as paying rent.
LA County has a coordinated entry system that serves as a single point of entry to connect people with housing needs to a variety of housing providers. Continued coordination among the web of organizations that perform outreach or provide permanent supportive housing is paramount.
