Los Angeles County Homelessness & Housing Map
A Data-Driven GIS Map of Interim and Supportive Housing
For instructions to use this interactive map, click here .
Introduction
Los Angeles County has developed this data-driven, multi-layered Geographic Information System (GIS) planning tool to help guide the efforts of policymakers', both at the County and city level, to respond urgently and effectively to homelessness and to inform the public and community stakeholders of progress being made.
This tool shows the interim housing, such as shelters, and supportive housing that currently exist and are being developed throughout Los Angeles County. This includes sites under construction as well as in the planning and development phases. Developments can be viewed geographically and in the context of Point-in-Time Homeless Count population data from June 2024.
This tool reflects the unprecedented pace of development underway to create more supportive housing throughout the County. It also visually demonstrates gaps between where projects currently exist or are being developed and where a significant need of housing still remains.
The most recent update to this map includes information as of January 2024.
If you, or someone you know, is in immediate need of services and/or interim or permanent housing, please call 2-1-1 or visit LA-HOP.org (click button below).

Current Supportive Housing
This map provides a look at existing supportive housing countywide. Supportive housing is designed for a small subset of the overall homeless population who live with disabling conditions or have experienced homelessness for long periods. This housing model combines the stability of a permanent home with onsite access to case management and coordinated services such as health and mental health care, and more.
This map represents 376 sites with 14, 345 units available as of June 2024. It’s important to note that this representation only includes project-based developments. It does not include subsidized housing in private apartments, which accounts for more than half of all supportive housing available in Los Angeles County.
These figures do not include Project Homekey (PHK) sites added since 2021 that are currently operating as supportive housing. As of June 2024, there are 12 PHK supportive housing sites with a combined 612 units. To view the PHK map, please scroll down or use the gray navigation bar at the top of the Story Map.

Project Homekey
This map provides an overview of existing Project Homekey (PHK) sites. PHK is an innovative partnership between Los Angeles County, the State of California, cities, nonprofit developers, and services to purchase and rehabilitate hotels and motels and convert them into interim or permanent, housing for people experiencing homelessness. PHK builds on Project Roomkey, which was an urgent but temporary initiative to lease hotel rooms to bring seniors and other medically vulnerable people experiencing homelessness indoors to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
PHK grants from the State, combined with other funding, enable the County and cities to buy hotels and motels and convert them into interim or permanent housing, including supportive housing for particularly vulnerable people. PHK sites began opening on a rolling basis in early 2021.
As of June 2024, there are 90 total PHK sites with a combined 5,021 units in Los Angeles County:
- 42 supportive housing sites with 2,847 units, and;
- 47 interim housing sites with 2,174 units some of which will be converted into PSH.
Safe Parking
This map depicts designated Safe Parking sites as of June 2023. The Safe Parking program provides safe and stable overnight parking locations for individuals and families living in their vehicles. Housing navigation and supportive services are provided onsite to help them move forward on their path to permanent housing.

Winter Shelters
The Winter Shelter Program (WSP) provides low-barrier, safe and supportive shelter and meals to individuals experiencing homelessness between November 1 and March 31 every year. Supplementing the WSP, is the Augmented Winter Shelter Program (AWSP), a short-term emergency response, that provides motel vouchers to people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in those parts of the County that are more likely to experience severe weather but do not have a traditional winter shelter facility. The following link provides the latest information about which WSP sites were opened and for what duration: https://www.lahsa.org/winter-shelter

Family Motels
In addition to the interim housing programs reflected in this Homelessness & Housing Map, there are approximately 455 vouchers countywide that enable families experiencing homelessness to access motels or hotels as short-term interim housing.* Vouchers are utilized when interim housing programs have exceeded capacity and short-term interim housing for families is needed. Below is the breakdown of motel vouchers by Service Planning Area (SPA).
Number of Vouchers by SPA
- SPA 1 - 31
- SPA 2 - 207
- SPA 3 - 42
- SPA 4 - 42
- SPA 5 - 51
- SPA 6 - 10
- SPA 7 - 10
- SPA 8 - 24
- Countywide - 24**
Total - 441*
*The total number of vouchers reflects the availability of resources at any point in Fiscal Year 2023-24. The actual number of used vouchers may fluctuate pending actual need on a day-to-day basis.
** Unlike the majority of vouchers managed by the Coordinated Entry System (CES) Lead Agencies in each SPA, the countywide figure represents vouchers managed through the centralized referral line: 2-1-1. The countywide vouchers can be used in different SPAs based on the geographic location of the household calling, and can also be accessed after hours.
The Whole Picture
This map shows the whole picture. It depicts the total homeless population countywide, according to the 2023 Point-in-Time Count, taken over three consecutive nights in February 2023. The total homeless population over the course of a given year is a significantly larger number. The Point-in-Time Count data is layered with a visualization of all existing interim and supportive housing, including Winter Shelters, Safe Parking and Family Motels, as well as all interim and supportive housing in the pipeline. This Homelessness & Housing Map depicts a countywide response to homelessness while also highlighting areas where housing remains critically needed. This tool is intended to guide the efforts of policymakers in Los Angeles County and its 88 cities, and to inform the public and community stakeholders about where progress is being made and where urgent work must continue.
