Over 70,000 people are living on our streets. We've spent over $10 billion in the last decade and the problem has only gotten worse. There is no unified strategy — just duplication, waste, and failure. Since 2016, the homeless population has grown by 72%.
We need a holistic solution to a complex problem. That means prioritizing eviction prevention, optimizing our interim housing infrastructure, and innovating on services to get people off the streets — even as we build net new affordable housing. Solving homelessness is inseparable from making rent more affordable and creating economic mobility for all Angelenos.
Adam Miller co-founded Better Angels to end the epidemic of homelessness in LA through innovation, bold thinking, and a strong dose of pragmatism. In just two years, the organization has kept thousands of Angelenos off the streets and provided direct support to over 10,000 unhoused individuals.

None of this works without transparency and accountability in how every dollar is spent. See the full THRIVES platform.
