LA CoC Shelter Count & Housing Inventory Count (HIC)

The Shelter Count & Housing Inventory Count (HIC) is a component of the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count. The HIC is a point-in-time inventory of projects or sites within the Los Angeles Continuum of Care (LA CoC) that provide beds and units dedicated to serving people experiencing homelessness or people who have experienced homelessness.

Nationally, data provided through the HIC process is provided to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to document Los Angeles’ shelter and housing resources. The submission of the HIC to HUD is also a part of Los Angeles’ application for federal funds on an annual basis.
