Our Next Steps

• City and community data released within the next two weeks
• Share data with cities and communities prior to the public

release

• Cities and communities have three to five working days to

provide feedback

• Final data posted approximately 48-72 hours after the close of

the feedback period; however, if no large issues identified, potentially right after

• Data not shared on a Friday, in recognition of the schedule of

many of our city partners

Thanks to the investments made by the people of LA County, thousands

• f people have a

home tonight. Our urgent mission continues to help those who don’t.
