Hollywood Groups To Hold Their Own Homeless Count Syndicated Local – CBS Los Angeles HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA) – The Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council and several local organizations are conducting a volunteer homeless count in Hollywood Thursday evening. The groups, including Hollywood4WRD and the Center in Hollywood, will share the count with the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, which typically conducts winter homeless counts but did not this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. L.A.H.S.A. announced in December that following guidance from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, “there is no safe way to gather the 8,000 volunteers necessary to conduct the 2021 (point-in-time) count and collect data as accurately as it has done in previous years.”
