Veteran homelessness across Greater Los Angeles declined sharply in 2026. The latest count identified 2,257 veterans experiencing homelessness—793 fewer than in 2025 and approximately 42% below the 2023 estimate. Improved outreach, coordinated case management, and expanding VA housing are helping, but continued local support, referrals, Stand Down events, and housing assistance remain essential.

The 23rd Annual Compton Veterans Stand Down will be held September 26–28, 2026, at the Compton Housing Authority. The event brings together government agencies, nonprofit organizations, healthcare providers, businesses, and volunteers to connect veterans with housing, healthcare, benefits assistance, employment resources, legal services, and other essential support. Join us as we honor those who served and strengthen our veteran community.
