Finding housing for the homeless

A program to find housing for Los Angeles County's most vulnerable homeless could be expanded to help 500 people under a concept the Board of Supervisors tentatively approved Tuesday.Troy Anderson in the Daily News.

Supervisors said they wanted to know how much it will ultimately cost before giving final approval to expand what is currently called Project 50 - to find housing for 50 of the county's most vulnerable homeless.

The vote followed the release of a report in February finding that the program had successfully moved the 50th homeless person into a permanent home. The two-year pilot program was originally designed to help the 50 homeless people on Skid Row deemed the most likely to die if they remained on the streets.
