Interim and Supportive Housing - Story Map. Special project from November 2019.

Los Angeles County has developed this data-driven multilayered GIS planning tool to help guide policymakers’ efforts to respond urgently and effectively to the homelessness crisis.

This tool shows both interim housing—such as shelters—and supportive housing that currently exists and is in the process of coming online. This tool enables the user to view these developments geographically and in the context of Point in Time Homeless Count population data from January 2019.

This tool reflects the unprecedented development underway to create more supportive housing than ever before in the County’s history. It also visually demonstrates gaps between where the need is and where projects currently exist or are being developed.

This tool is intended to guide the efforts of policymakers, both at the County and city level, as well inform the public and community stakeholders of what is underway in this urgent mobilization to combat the homelessness crisis.

This is the first iteration of this tool and we plan to include updates and additional information to improve its usefulness in the months ahead.
