Pathway Home
By leveraging emergency powers and partnerships with local jurisdictions, Pathway Home brings people off the streets and into immediately available interim housing accompanied by a comprehensive suite of supportive services and, ultimately, into safe, permanent homes.
The program also removes unsafe recreational vehicles (RVs) and other debris from community spaces, whether freeway underpasses or side streets, returning them to their intended uses.
Pathway Home Data Dashboard
Following the completion of a Pathway Home encampment resolution, data will be collected, reconciled, and posted online. Please allow 72 – 96 hours for updates to occur. Data on Individuals Permanently Housed is updated quarterly.
Pathway Home formally launched on August 9, 2023. The below data are current as of March 12, 2025.
This Pathway Home dashboard excludes data from our encampment resolution partnership with the City of Los Angeles.

A Pathway to Permanent Housing
Pathway Home draws on lessons from previous multi-jurisdictional emergency housing efforts, such as Project Roomkey and the City of LA’s Inside Safe Initiative. The County is mobilizing and coordinating an all-hands-on-deck approach that offers people a diverse suite of interim housing options and comprehensive services to end their homelessness.
Encampment Resolution
With the support from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, Department of Mental Health, and Housing for Health outreach teams and community partners, LA County offers encampment residents immediately available interim housing.
Diversified Interim Housing
Encampment residents who decide to move into interim housing are offered a variety of options at a range of locations, including a designated local motel, where they stay in a private room to begin their pathway to permanent housing.
Connection to Services
After moving into interim housing, residents can access a robust array of services from County departments offering everything from immigration services, life skills, onsite case management, to benefits enrollment, mental health services, and more.
Housing Navigation
Pathway Home residents are also offered specialized housing navigation services to secure stable, permanent housing.
Home
The County is increasing the permanent housing pathways available to Pathway Home participants, helping them move from interim to permanent housing.
A Multipronged Approach to Bringing People Indoors
Through Pathway Home, the County is using its emergency powers and working with our invaluable local service providers, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, and our jurisdictional partners to expand, enhance and expedite:
Encampment Outreach
The number of specialized teams from the LA County Departments of Mental Health, Health Services, Public Health and other agencies – as well as from trusted partners and community organizations – to work intensively with people who have the most complex physical and behavioral health needs.
Housing
A diverse array of interim housing at non-congregate hotels and available shelters that people can move into immediately while being matched to rental subsidies, benefits, and other assistance to secure permanent housing. The County is investing in innovative strategies to expand available permanent housing, such as acquiring and refurbishing motels and hotels through Project Homekey.
Supportive Services
Supportive Services at both interim and permanent housing, which can include physical and behavioral healthcare, substance use disorder treatment, and ensuring participants are receiving their entitled benefits, such as healthcare and subsidized housing.
How LA County Selects Encampment Resolution Sites
Across LA County’s 5 districts, there are hundreds of encampments that deserve to be prioritized for a resolution that puts people on a path to permanent housing stability. So how do we prioritize scarce resources in an equitable way? Sites are selected according to:
Encampments whose residents are members of demographic groups that have been disproportionately impacted by homelessness and poverty.
Sites in communities which have been disproportionately impacted by homelessness and poverty.
The size and scale of the encampment.
Availability of interim and permanent housing resources in the community or ability to quickly add these resources nearby.
The potential for elevated harm to encampment residents and neighboring communities from fires, flash floods, or other hazards.
The strength of existing trusted relationships between outreach partners and encampment residents.
Pathway Home has been funded primarily through Measure H, a ¼-cent sales tax approved by County voters in 2017 to prevent and address homelessness. Starting July 1, 2025, Pathway Home will receive funds from Measure A, a ½-cent sales tax approved by voters in November 2024 to repeal and replace Measure H.
