One in four interim beds went unused, according to the report, costing taxpayers roughly $218 million over five years.
FILE - Homeless people wait in line for dinner outside the Midnight Mission in the Skid Row area of Los Angeles, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023.
On Tuesday, Mejia released the Pathways to Permanent Housing Homelessness Audit, which examined city initiatives to help move homeless residents to permanent housing from 2019 to 2023. That report noted, however, “a woefully inadequate number of people” staying in interim facilities moved on to permanent housing.
“For beds that were occupied, less than 20% of people were successfully housed and more than half returned to homelessness/unknown destinations,” the report reads. “In addition, there are concerns about long-term stability for many people who were placed into permanent housing.”“As a City, we must do more to ensure that unhoused community members can move through the rehousing system, obtain permanent housing, and receive the support needed to stay there,” the comptroller wrote.
