It appears the city of LA lost track of many of the homeless people that were cleared out the Echo Park Lake encampment for that big clean-up.
Officials blame "incorrect data entry."
The LA Homeless Services Authority says it's fixing the problem and will be putting out information on the 183 people "shortly."
Councilman Mitch O'Farrell argues the delay is part of a pattern for LAHSA.
"No thanks to LAHSA I found out myself that one young man, that was living in a tent at Echo Park Lake, not only has a full-time job but he now has secured a permanent home," he says.
O'Farrell says he doesn't know of any other former park dwellers who've found permanent housing, blaming the lack of information on LAHSA.
So does that mean there aren't mechanisms in place to ensure people get permanent housing?
"They're supposed to be but you're factually correct they're not because we are being underserved by the very organization the city and county contracted with in order to have those questions answered and that's a problem," O'Farrell says.
LAHSA said in a statement “LAHSA provides a wide range of data to the City of Los Angeles through district-specific biweekly data meetings with each Council Office and a biweekly newsletter that highlights data and offers other updates regarding the performance of Los Angeles’ homeless rehousing system.
The recent delay in releasing the current status of the 183 people that LAHSA sheltered from Echo Park Lake last March resulted from incorrect data entry. Our priority is data quality, and to ensure the most accurate information is available, we are addressing this issue and will release the information shortly.”
