Accounting error inflates L.A. homelessness

The 2026 Los Angeles homeless count was inflated due to an accounting discrepancy involving shelter data, particularly at the Union Rescue Mission. This error suggested a 24% increase in Skid Row's homeless population, but the actual rise was closer to 1.9%, with most growth attributed to longstanding shelter beds that were previously uncounted or inconsistently reported. The revelation has intensified demands for reform of homelessness data collection and increased scrutiny of LAHSA's methods and transparency.
