I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

Los Angeles now has 11 tiny home villages with operations funded by the city, according to the Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA).

Chandler Blvd. in North Hollywood was the first, opening in 2021. But as these communities have expanded, so has something else: the number of emergency calls.

KTLA obtained police, fire and paramedic records which paint a picture of the care still needed by the unhoused when they are taken off the streets. Among them are calls for suspected assault, threats, weapons, suicides and overdoses.
