According to the Institute for the study of homelessness and poverty at the Weingart Center, approximately 80.000 people are homeless each night in the Los Angeles County.Estimates of the number of people who are homeless vary due in part to methodological variables such as different definitions of homelessness and count time frames, as well as the difficulty of locating homeless people. Los Angeles has a higher rate of homelessness than most other U.S cities and counties.
