Poor minorities. Wouldn't it just be the poor or actually low income? If you fall below certain poverty guidelines isnt there free or subsidized government housing one would be eligible for.
Well, there's a long list you can get on the bottom of to maybe-possibly get into subsidized housing someday.
What isn't caused by racism these days. This country and the world for that matter is increasingly being populated by purely mentally ill people who write things like that article.
Back when Hillary was running, it was about sexism.
What the Dems seem to not realize of don't care to is that the LEGAL Hispanic immigrants are also adversely affected by ILLEGAL immigration.
It is not only white and black people being affected. It is everyone and it will only get worse once the Dems get back in full power and start enacting their Loony Liberal schemes.
Their fear mongering Victim Identity Politics will be our undoing.
Maybe the Democrat voters don't realize. Democrat politicians know EXACTLY what is going on.
So if racism is the reason , why did it take them so long to discover this ?

In a report that treats Los Angeles’s homelessness crisis as a symptom of racism, city and county officials this week pointed to the high number of black people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles and the need to address the disparity in order to address the crisis.
There's no evidence to indicate racism.
It only proves that a "high number of black people" are so-called "homeless."
How many are mentally ill?
How many are alcoholics or substance abusers?
How many could live with a parent or sibling, but choose not to?
What is their educational level?
How many refused to take advantage of the free education provided to them?
How many are veterans and could choose to go to a VA Domiciliary, but refuse?

Yeah , exactly. Plus they are talking about historical racism. Most homeless people haven't been on the streets that long. Also at the same time these same leaders say that Los Angeles is a diverse tolerant city, so shouldn't we have a much lower amount of racism here?
Why are there so many black homeless people here in L.A , but few in the cities/states that are supposedly racist?
So many questions with this study but of course we'll never get the answers, because the answers and facts won't fit the agenda.

I Caught a case of Racism last week, it only lasted for a day, unlike Robert Byrd or Reverand Wright kind where it lasts a life time
I actually find her comments to be extremely ignorant of homelessness. The fact that they would smack such a one-dimensional label on such a complex issue strongly suggests that they are simply trying to push their own agenda, something that I find insulting as a citizen of this country, which has a major homelessness problem that demands well-thought out solutions. Here, it’s just being used as a tool. They’ve basically admitted that they only care about 40% of the homeless population of LA. Evidently, the remaining 60% can just continue to rot.
I have a hard time believing she’s actually being serious. It’s like something you hope was a joke.
Those seem to be the reason sited in the linked article under the "failings of systems and institutions" that are responsible for racism and homelessness.
"Reba Stevens, a member of the ad hoc committee, said that while she was homeless, she went to jail several times for petty theft crimes.
“Every time I went to jail and was released, I had nowhere to go to,” she said."
I do find that sad. Desperate people do desperate things. She didn’t commit violent crimes. They should have some kind of help for them once they’ve done their time. As it is, no one wants to hire them. If they don’t have family or some type of support network what are they going to do? They need companies to step up and agree to hire people who learn marketable skills in prison. Maybe they have some who do? I haven’t studied it, but if they do have those programs they’re not enough.
Racism, sexism, homophobic, and Antisemitism are among the favorite cards snowflake like to pull. If those are the problems, what are some practical steps to fight the problems?

While I agree prison reform is lacking in the US, this particular woman was in jail, not prison. I don't know what she did but it was petty crimes which would be possessing small amounts of drugs, shoplifting, theft, bad checks, prostitution, public drunkenness, simple assault. I'm not so sure desperation drives people to do these things.
