Venice homelessness decreased 11.6 percent from 2015 to 2016, according to figures supplied by Los angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA). Total number of homeless people in Venice was 889 for 2016. For the same time period in 2015, the count was 1006.
CD11 homeless count for 2016, on the other hand, was up 7.2 percent from 2015 at 2529. The previous year count was 2359.
Normally, LAHSA does the count every two years, but because of the significant increase in the homeless count from 2013 to 2015 in Los Angeles, it was decided to do the count in 2016.
Total number of homeless people in 2016 in City and County gets confusing because of lack of an apples-to-apples comparison. There was an error in the original release of figures and then an apples-to-apples controversy. The confusing numbers stories can be found in these two stories–one for City and County and the other for CD11 and Venice.
