Homelessness has been such a big issue for such a long while now in Los Angeles.

In November 2016, this proposition got 77.14% on a yes vote and 22.86% a no vote. Help is now available for many people who need it.

The voters that said yes towards this proposition are expecting many changes towards this issue such seeing less homelessness around the areas and looking at the reduction of numbers of homelessness.
