The 2025 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, postponed due to recent fire emergencies that displaced thousands of residents, has been rescheduled to February, officials announced Tuesday.
Separately, Pasadena’s Housing Department and the Pasadena Partnership to End Homelessness announced Pasadena’s Homeless Count will now take place on the evening of Wednesday, February 19 and the morning of Thursday, February 20. In addition, the City reported, a supplementary count focusing on Transitional Aged Youth (TAY) aged 18-24, will be conducted on the afternoon of Wednesday, February 19.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, originally set to conduct the count from Jan. 21-23, rescheduled the annual event to take place over three nights next month:
- Tuesday, Feb. 18: San Fernando and Santa Clarita valleys, and Metro Los Angeles;
- Wednesday, Feb. 19: San Gabriel Valley and East Los Angeles; and
- Thursday, Feb. 20: Antelope Valley, West Los Angeles, South Los Angeles and South Bay/Harbor areas.
“The safety of our volunteers and unsheltered neighbors is vital,” LAHSA CEO Va Lecia Adams Kellum said in a statement. “We are grateful for the flexibility and understanding of our partners and volunteers as we strive for a safe count.”
The annual count provides critical data that informs the county’s understanding of the homelessness crisis.
LAHSA is still seeking volunteers to participate in the count. Information is available at theycountwillyou.org.
“We’re facing unprecedented challenges this year, so the success of the homeless count depends now more than ever on community involvement. We urge everyone who can join us as a volunteer,” Kellum said in a statement.
