United States Conference of Mayors Task Force on Homelessness.
WASHINGTON, DC — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and the United States Conference of Mayors or USCM task force on homelessness Jan. 17 called on Americans to participate in the upcoming homeless point-in-time count. It also announced an upcoming national path to bring more people inside by advocating for additional housing vouchers, increased project-based voucher flexibility to build more permanent supportive housing and expanded eligibility to ensure our unhoused veterans are not left behind. The announcement followed a standing room only USCM homelessness task force meeting focused on advancing federal legislative, regulatory and budgetary action on this important issue.
Mayors and representatives from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness made a national call for people across the country to participate in next week’s point-in-time count. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires a biennial point-in-time count of people experiencing homelessness across the United States and in Los Angeles. The count will happen Jan. 23, 24 and 25.
For those who ask how they can help address homelessness, participating in the count is a great way to get involved.
