OCLA® helps anyone who is homeless or struggling to avoid homelessness find the services they need to improve their life circumstance.
Los Angeles County is home to a staggering number of individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
Over 66,000 people are sleeping in the streets, in tents, or in homeless shelters every night, while thousands more are sleeping in their cars or vans. In January 2020, nearly 19,000 vehicles, tents and makeshift shelters were “home” for thousands of LA County residents. This number fails to include the thousands more who are living in tents, vehicles, on streets or in shelters in Pasadena, Glendale and Long Beach.
