Providing shelter, food, and water. A fifty dollar donation will support a family of three. A record-breaking storm stalled over the Los Angeles area on Monday as California surveyed damage from a ferocious atmospheric river. Nearly half a million homes and businesses remained without power as residents encountered blocked roads, rising floodwater and a relentless downpour that was expected to last for another day. Nearly 10 inches of rain had been recorded by sunup in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Bel Air — more than half its average annual rainfall. The Hollywood Hills had been inundated, with morning traffic crawling past fallen trees and mud on narrow roadways. Rain totals in downtown Los Angeles had passed six inches after smashing a century-old daily rainfall record for Feb. 4, according to the National Weather Service. The Weather Service warned of an “extremely dangerous situation” from landslides in the Hollywood Hills. Parts of the Santa Monica Mountains received more than seven inches of rain over two days, spawning mudslides that covered canyon roads in and out of Malibu. And in Los Angeles’s Studio City neighborhood, firefighters evacuated at least six people from their homes. Despite the bad weather, many school districts in Southern California, including Los Angeles Unified, the nation’s second largest, were planning to keep their classrooms open. In Northern California, an 82-year-old man was killed by a falling redwood in his Yuba City backyard as the storm swept through on Sunday, drenching the region and toppling trees that blocked streets in San Francisco. For a second year in a row, Don Blackston, 52, watched Mission Creek behind his Santa Barbara home overflow on Sunday afternoon, prompting the authorities to knock on doors to evacuate residents. Part of his neighbor's back yard caved into the creek.

Homelessness in America reached an all-time high in 2023, making many across the country fear what 2024 will bring and what is being done to address the country's growing homeless crisis. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), an estimated 653,104 people experienced homelessness on a single night in 2023, a 12% jump from 2022, making it the highest number of homeless people since the country began using the yearly point-in-time survey in 2007. One factor for the increase in homelessness was the end of pandemic programs such as the eviction moratorium as well as jumps in rental costs. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, data shows the U.S, had been making steady progress in reducing the homeless population as the government focused on increasing investments to get veterans into housing. The number of homeless people dropped from about 637,000 in 2010 to about 554,000 in 2017. The number of people who became homeless between the federal fiscal years of 2021 to 2022 jumped 25%, HUD noted in the report. The 2022 fiscal year ended in September 2022. Veteran homelessness increased by 7.4% last year for the largest surge in 12 years, as revealed by HUD's annual report. On a single night in Jan. 2023, there were 35,574 homeless veterans in the U.S., the report also uncovered. Unsheltered veterans represented nearly 80% of the overall increase in homelessness seen in 2023. Data shows California leads the country with the most cities experiencing homelessness, with Los Angeles leading at just over 71,000 without a place to call home, followed by San Diego with over 10,000, San Jose, Oakland and Sacramento at nearly 10,000, and San Francisco rounding out the top ten with over 7,500.
