A new report from the California Policy Lab at UCLA shows promising early results from Los Angeles County's Homelessness Prevention Unit (HPU). The report found that people in the HPU program were 71% less likely to enter a homeless shelter or have contact with street outreach teams within 18 months, compared to similar high-risk people who didn't enroll.
