An annual survey from UCLA’s Luskin School of Public Affairs found renters under strain from the steep cost of housing and inflation, and many fearing homelessness.
Nearly 4 in 10 renters in Los Angeles County have worried about losing their homes and becoming homeless in the last few years, according to the results of a new survey from UCLA. A similar share have worried that they or their family would go hungry because they cannot afford the cost of food.
And about half, 51%, of renters reported being pessimistic about their economic future in L.A. County, while 61% of homeowners said they felt optimistic. Pablo Estupiñan, campaign director for the tenant advocacy group Strategic Actions for a Just Economy, or SAJE, said the findings reflect his experience working with tenants across Los Angeles. “Community members are very concerned about facing an eviction or becoming homeless,” he said.
