Jan. 12—The recession brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to send 603,000 working-age adults into homelessness across the United States by 2023, more than 52,300 of them in Los Angeles County, according to findings from a report released Tuesday, Jan. 12.
Across California, the number of adults who are of working age and could face homelessness is predicted to be 131,400, according to the report put out by the Los Angeles-based Economic Roundtable, which used data from the 2008 Recession to study the connection between job-loss and homelessness and potential effects of the current recession.
