Los Angeles, CA - February 26: New resident Miles Templeman, who was formerly unhoused and living in encampments, shows off his room key during a "Welcome Home" celebration for 27 people who successfully transitioned from encampments to apartments within a matter of weeks or months, while participating in LA County's Pathway Home program at The Dalton apartment complex in Los Angeles Monday, Feb. 26, 2024. After years living in tents or RVs in unincorporated Lennox, Walnut Park and Firestone Park, as well as in the cities of Hawthorne and Lynwood, they recently moved into master-leased co-living units at The Dalton apartment complex. Supervisor Holly Mitchell will provide welcome remarks, and L.A. Care Health Plan and Health Net will sponsor a luncheon for the Pathway Home participants who are new tenants at The Dalton. Pathway Home is a full-circle solution that brings people off the streets into immediately available interim housing accompanied by a suite of supportive services and, ultimately, into safe, permanent homes. It is a critical component of LA County's comprehensive response to the local emergency on homelessness adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2023. LA County partnered with the nonprofit service providers PATH and St. Joseph Center to assist Pathway Home clients during their stay in interim and permanent housing, respectively. LA County also worked with the largest local managed care programs, L.A. Care Health Plan and Health Net, to secure Housing and Homelessness Incentive Program (HHIP) funding that enabled the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority to master lease The Dalton. (Allen J.

LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 07: Los Angeles City sanitation workers conducted a large homeless encampment cleanup in Venice Wednesday. Described by councilwoman Traci Park's office as a "beautification" project that will be followed by new parkway plantings, the cleanup focused on tents that lined S. Venice Boulevard between Pacific and Dell avenues. A spokeswoman for the council office said all 38 people living in the encampment had been offered housing. But several people in the camp said they planned to move to nearby streets. 200 block of S. Venice Blvd., Los Angeles, CA.

MONTROSE, CA - SEPTEMBER 9: An adult black bear walks through a residential neighborhood on September 9, 2012 in Montrose, California. The bear was first seen walking on the 210 freeway, which was subsequently closed for a short time, before moving further into the city. Bears and other wildlife are drawn to the cities that line the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains northeast of Los Angeles in search of water, pet food and trash left out by residents. Some residents reportedly feed the bears bacon and other food, a practice strongly condemned by wildlife officials.
