What are the unique characteristics of people living in vehicles in Los Angeles? These findings will help effectively target policies and services, such as safe parking programs that can offer temporary relief and interventions necessary to transition into permanent housing.
Almost half of Los Angeles's unsheltered population live in their vehicles.
