Claim 2: “around 72,000 people unhoused across the county”
CORROBORATED
Multiple independent sources provide figures around 72,000. One source explicitly mentions an 'official tally of 72,000', and another cites the 2025 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count (LAHSA) reporting a figure of 72,308. While The Guardian mentions 75,000, the proximity of the 72k figure across multiple reports makes 'around 72,000' a corroborated statement.
