An average of five unhoused people are dying on the streets every day, and the long wait for affordable housing is part of the reason, according to L.A. City Controller Ron Galperin.
According to Sarah Ardalani, public information officer for the L.A. County Dept. of Medical-Examiner Coroner’s Office, 162 unhoused people died in April, a 35% increase compared with the same month last year. From January to April, there were 626 unhoused deaths, a 22% increase compared with the same time period last year,.revealed the overall number of deaths among unhoused people increased by 56% from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021 compared with the same time period a year prior.
“This can be an important part of that picture,” said Galperin at a Wednesday press conference in South L.A. in response to the unhoused mortality report. “Enough of the debating. Enough of the studies. It’s time to actually act. We have the properties. And now we have the obligation to get our fellow Angelenos off the streets and into housing. This property is a perfect example of how we can do it.
