Volunteers Fan Out Across Los Angeles In Effort To Count City's Homeless

LOS ANGELES, CA - JANUARY 29: Volunteers count homeless people on a dark street on Skid Row during the 2015 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count conducted by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) on January 29, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. About 6,000 volunteers take part in counting the homeless people that they see as well as tents, cars and other structures used by the homeless, but avoid estimating the amount of people that might be inside such shelters. The last Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, which took place in 2013, found that LA had one of the largest homeless populations in the country, with more than 39,000 men, women and children living on the streets.
