My current event this week is called “Accounting for L.A.’s homeless” My article talks about how many homeless people are in L.A. On Tuesday night 7,000 volunteers will embark upon a three-night trip to count the number of homeless people who live on streets, in tents and cars, or bed down in temporary shelters in Los Angeles County. The 2015 count showed that homelessness was up 12% from 2013. Of the 44,000 people found homeless, the majority were found to be “unsheltered.” The number of people living in tents and makeshift shelters increased a staggering 85% from 5,335 in 2013 to 9,535 in 2015. I agree with the author and believe that this should happen. It is necessary to know how many people are homeless. If we found out how many people are homeless it could be a good thing, and make more shelters and help out everybody. This affects the world, because a ton of the population is homeless.
