Los Angeles, CA (September 19, 2022)<\/strong> – Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger announced today that she has allocated $2.3M from her discretionary funds to increase homeless outreach services across the Fifth District<\/a>\u00a0communities she represents.<\/p>\n

The services will be provided by the Sheriff\u2019s Department Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST) and Los Angeles Homeless Service Authority (LAHSA) Homeless Engagement Team (HET) professionals who specialize in engaging people experiencing homelessness.<\/p>\n

\u201cLifting people out of homelessness requires both expertise and perseverance,\u201d stated\u00a0Supervisor Kathryn Barger.\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cI\u2019ve heard loud and clear from my constituents that more needs to be done to address homelessness in their communities. These funds will procure the services of additional deputies and outreach professionals who know how to compassionately engage people experiencing homelessness. Their model and approach works.\u201d<\/p>\n

With this funding, four new outreach teams will offer services exclusively in the Fifth Supervisorial District, with a special focus on the Antelope Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, portions of the San Fernando Valley, and the San Gabriel Valley. A fourth team will rove between these regions, lending additional support wherever it is needed.<\/p>\n

The outreach efforts are performed by professionals from HET and HOST deputies trained in crisis stabilization and intervention.\u00a0 Their daily missions proactively seek people experiencing homelessness, build relationships with those individuals, and work to connect them to services and housing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
