† Youth Count data is in addition to Total Counts submitted to HUD for Point-in-Time street count estimates and are to be used for local planning purposes only.
The 2015 Youth Count was conducted on January 27, 2015. Since 2007, LAHSA has coordinated the Youth Count as part of the overall Homeless Count; it offers an estimate of how many unaccompanied minors (under age 18) and transition age youth (age 18-24) are experiencing homelessness throughout the Los Angeles Continuum of Care. Our goal is that data from the Youth Count be utilized for the planning of the Youth Coordinated Entry System (CES).
Hidden in Plain Sight: Knowing how many young people are homeless is critical to understanding their needs, creating effective responses, and measuring progress. However, homeless youth are often missed during traditional homeless counts as they do not typically mingle with the homeless adult population, are less likely to access traditional homeless services, and frequently “hide in plain sight” to avoid the stigma often associated with homelessness.

Understanding the Situation: In order to make a difference in the lives of homeless men, women, children and veterans, we need to know who they are and where they live. Beyond a simple count, we also identify basic demographic information of our homeless residents.
