How much does it cost the City of Los Angeles to care for the homeless? LA Times had an in depth article categorizing the costs for policing the homeless, homeless services, healthy streets in Los Angeles and Venice, and costs for the City Attorney’s office for litigation.
Venice is only starting to be recognized or mentioned as a homeless area even though the numbers show Venice is second only to Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles.
Residents in Venice know there is a homeless problem. Homeless are seen everywhere sleeping on the City sidewalks and doorways, soliciting at the stop lights, sleeping and encamping at the ocean front park, on Third in Venice, and the bus stops.
