New Homeless study

PATH Partners and more than 20 other organizations conducted a survey of 350 homeless people in the downtown Long Beach area with Long Beach Connection from July 21 to 23. One preliminary finding is that the average homeless person in Long Beach has been living on the streets for almost 5 years.

The group will hold a meeting on Thursday September 17 at 7 pm at the Main Library, 101 Pacific Avenue, to present further results and present a strategy to provide intensive services for homeless people and connect them with permanent housing.
