Homelessness: Why it Will Never Be Reformed from Within (opens the original)
Read excerpt
iAUDIT! - If you have been following homelessness news for the past few months, you may wonder how the current system can possibly continue to operate. At least two news stories have described how LAHSA’s latest homelessness count was even more inaccurate than first believed. An “accounting error” may have missed people in shelters operated by faith-based providers (shelter occupants are considered “sheltered homeless”). An unknown but substantial number of people are living in makeshift RV camp
The Cynicism of Homelessness (opens the original)
Read excerpt
iAUDIT! - When it comes to homelessness in Los Angeles, it is easy to be cynical about any number of subjects. To people skeptical of official news, the recent increase in the unhoused population came as no surprise; there is compelling evidence the decreases claimed the past two years were at best ephemeral, based on poor methodology and allegedly cooked numbers. The main excuse LAHSA and City officials gave for the supposed increase was that the state and federal governments reduced funding fo

iAUDIT! - In March, I wrote a column calling Los Angeles “The City that Can’t”.

iAUDIT! - Last week, my column asked a simple question: When will we start hearing some honesty from Los Angeles’ homelessness leaders? That question was neither rhetorical nor unnecessarily inflammatory. As I have written many times before, we seem to be caught in a netherworld between what leaders are telling us and what news stories and audits report. Leaders tell us unsheltered homelessness has decreased, but the RAND Corporation says rough sleeping has increased in its three survey areas. M
Dear Los Angeles Leaders: When Will You Tell Us the Truth? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
iAUDIT! - On June 30, the US Postal Service announced it was permanently closing its office in Skid Row, after having shuttered it in January. USPS cited ongoing vandalism and crime in and around the location as reasons for the closure. Despite having its own police force, and even though it is a few blocks from the LAPD’s headquarters, the post office has been plagued by crime and damage. The LA Times story on the closure quoted Estela Lopez, the executive director of the L.A. Downtown Industri
