Executive Summary:

This report is an investigation into 2,815 homeless deaths in Los Angeles County

between January, 2000 and May, 2007, based on statistics provided by the Los

Angeles County Coroner’s office.

� Homelessness in Los Angeles: Los Angeles [city and county] has the

disgrace of being the homeless capital of the United States with over

73,000 homeless people in the County of Los Angeles, approximately

50% of that in the City of Los Angeles. Only 16.7% of Los Angeles

County’s homeless population is sheltered, which is lowest percentage of

any major city.

� Results:

� Total deaths: 2,815 homeless deaths from January 1, 2000 to

May 28, 2007, an average of more than one per day for the nearly

7.5 year period.

� Demographics:

� Gender: 2,406 (85%) of them were male, and 409 (15%) were

female.

� Ethnicity: 41% were Caucasian; 31% were Hispanic; 25%

were African American; 1% were Asian and 1% were American

Indian.

� Age: the average age of death was 48.1 years, falling far short

of the 77.2 year life expectancy of the average American. The

age range of these homeless deaths was 0-89.

� Leading known causes of death: [As noted, since we did not

have access to the death certificates, this analysis may have over

estimated the percentage of cardiovascular causes of death and

under counted substance use]. The leading known causes of death

Page 5: Dying without Dignity: Homeless Deaths in Los Angeles ...€¦ · Homelessness in Los Angeles: Los Angeles [city and county] has the disgrace of being the homeless capital of the

5

were cardiovascular [24.4%]; [followed by “unknown”]; followed by

substance use [22%] with trauma [17.8%] being the third leading

cause of death among homeless people. Even with the disclaimer

of lack of access to death certificates, these three causes of death

among homeless people are consistent with other studies

conducted in Seattle, San Francisco, New York and Boston.

� Geography: Not just in “Skid Row:” The largest concentration of

Los Angeles County’s homeless deaths occurred within the City of

Los Angeles (1,277 or 45 %). Other communities with homeless

deaths included Long Beach (154), Santa Monica (111), Pasadena

(55) and Hollywood (48).

� Season: Winter claimed the most homeless deaths with 27% of

the total deaths, followed by Summer [25%]; Spring [24%] and Fall

[23%].

� Lives cut short: The 2,815 homeless people in our study were

expected to live 211,878 years based on the average life

expectancy of their gender and ethnicity. They only survived

135,528 of those expected years. In other words, their lives were

cut short by 76,350 years . On average a homeless person’s life is

36% shorter than a housed person’s life. For homeless Latina

females, their lives were 49% shorter than expected.

� Recommendations:

1. Annual report from LA County

2. Improved access to primary and preventive care

3. Support overdose prevention programs

4. Promote recovery

5. Improved discharge planning

6. Regional priority to end and prevent homelessness through creating permanent housing

7. Increase economic stability through employment and income supports. Raise the General Relief grant level.

I. An Introduction to Homelessness in Los Angeles Coun ty:

When a homeless person dies they do not often get the same sense of dying

with dignity as a housed person. December 21st has been commemorated as

the National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day by the National Coalition for

the Homeless in partnership with the National Health Care for the Homeless

Council for communities around the nation to commemorate the lives of

homeless people that passed away.

Local advocates and service providers celebrate the lives of thousands of

homeless people in hundreds of cities around the nation with candlelight

vigils, a reading of names, and other acts to remember the lives of those lost

while living on the streets of our nation.

This report is an investigation into homeless deaths in Los Angeles County

between January, 2000 and May, 2007, based on statistics from the Los

Angeles County Coroner’s office. It is our hope that the homeless people

who make up the statistics in this report did not die in vain and that policy

makers move to implement the recommendations of this report in an effort to

provide the dignity they did not find while living on the streets of our

community. Equally important, to implement these strategies to help prevent

the untimely deaths of homeless people in the future.

Homelessness in Los Angeles:

Los Angeles has the disgrace of being the homeless capital of the United

States with over 73,000 homeless people in the County of Los Angeles on

any given night and over 140,000 experiencing homelessness at some point

during the year.

Page 7: Dying without Dignity: Homeless Deaths in Los Angeles ...€¦ · Homelessness in Los Angeles: Los Angeles [city and county] has the disgrace of being the homeless capital of the

In other words, one out of 5 people who are homeless in California is

homeless in LA, while conservatively one out of every eleven people who is

homeless in this country is homeless in LA. If the homeless population

comprised a “city” in LA County, their composition would be the 26th largest

city among the 88 cities in the county.

Overwhelmingly, the homeless population in LA are people of color, with

African Americans representing nearly 50% of homeless people. 70% are

male, while 30% are female and veterans, including veterans from

Afghanistan and Iraq make up about 25% of the homeless population.

Currently, only 16.7% of Los Angeles County’s homeless population is

sheltered, which is lowest percentage of any major city. By contrast,

Philadelphia, for example, shelters 97.4% of its homeless and Denver

shelters 93.3%.

Since 2005, the number of homeless people on Skid Row has increased 40%

and the number of homeless people in jail is up 175%. The higher

concentration of poverty and homelessness impacts the health of homeless

people by enlarging the responsibilities of public services beyond their

already thinly stretched reach.

It is a disgrace that such a small percentage of the homeless population in LA

is sheltered. With no resources and, forced to live outside, in their cars and in

abandoned buildings, it’s no wonder that hundreds of homeless people die

without dignity in our community every year.

II. Methodology:

The individuals who appear in this study were included because they were

declared as homeless by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office when their

bodies were brought into the morgue. The Coroner’s office considers persons

homeless if they did not have a home address at the time of their death. If the

Coroner is able to contact the deceased’s next of kin, their homeless status

remains on record.

LACEH&H did an initial analysis of the causes of death and then consulted

with the Homeless Liaisons for the Los Angeles Departments of Health

Services and Public Health, given that they were conducting a one year study

based not only on the Coroner’s report but also the death certificates. They

indicated that our figures were higher than their initial findings in cardiac

related deaths and lower than their findings in drug related deaths. They also

encouraged us to utilize the classification scheme used in the Seattle-Kings

County study which we did.

LACEH&H then recruited a physician that works in a local shelter to re-

analyze our initial findings related to causes of death and use the Seattle

classification scheme. Nevertheless, the analysis which is presented in this

report most likely undercounts the drug related deaths. The disclaimer for our

study is that without access to official death certificates it is difficult to

generate accurate numbers regarding deaths caused by cardiovascular

disease. Undoubtedly in some cases where the cause of the death is

categorized as cardiovascular disease, the condition was caused by alcohol

and/or substance use. Ultimately, access to the official death certificates

would have provided the primary underlying cause of death in these cases.

Nevertheless, despite this limitation, Dying Without Dignity paints a tragic

picture of seven years of 2,815 lives cut drastically, and unnecessarily, short

by the fact that they were homeless.

III. Results from Los Angeles County 2000-2007:

a. Number of Homeless Deaths

The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office reported 2,815 homeless deaths

from January 1, 2000 to May 28, 2007.

As an average, this is more than one per day for the nearly 7.5 year period.

b. Comparison of Data

The range of homeless deaths spans from a low of 270 in 2002 to a high of

551 in 2006. The largest increase occurred between 2002 and 2003 when

deaths increased from 270 to 393, a 45.5% increase in one year. Predictions

indicate the year 2007 will experience a decline in homeless deaths. Through

five complete months of 2007 there have been 180 homeless deaths

recorded, just 32.6% of the previous year’s total over a 12 month span. If

2007 does show a decline in numbers, it will be the first time since 2002 that

Los Angeles County has seen a decrease in homeless deaths.

c. Demographic Characteristics

• Gender : As shown in Figure 1, of the 2,815 homeless deaths, 2,406

(85%) of them were male, and 409 (15%) were female.

1,575 (56.0%) deaths in the 45 to 64 age group, and 225 (8.0%) in the

65 and over age group.

The average life span of the deceased homeless in Los Angeles

County covered just 62.3% of the life expectancy of a person living in

the United States.

d. Leading Known Underlying Causes of Death: See

Table 1 & Figure 4:

1. Cardiovascular: The primary cause of death among the 2,815

homeless was cardiovascular problems, accounting for 686 (24.4%)

deaths. Again, it is important to note: without access to official death

certificates, the primary underlying cause of death (such as alcohol

and/or substance abuse) in these cardiovascular cases is unknown.

Unknown: Unknown causes of death ranked second in the listing we

were provided. The high death rates and low life expectancy

highlighted reported here constitute an extremely serious health

disparity for the homeless population group. Public health authorities

should monitor, report on and plan for the health of homeless persons

to a far greater extent than is currently the case.

Page 12: Dying without Dignity: Homeless Deaths in Los Angeles ...€¦ · Homelessness in Los Angeles: Los Angeles [city and county] has the disgrace of being the homeless capital of the

12

2. Substance Use: The second most common cause was acute

intoxication, which accounted for 619 (22.0%) of deaths. The leading

substances abused were: heroin, cocaine, morphine and alcohol.

3. Trauma: The third most common were trauma related. In a

preliminary review of a coroner's list of causes of death (without access

to death certificates), we found that 502 deaths (or 17.8%) were

caused by some type of trauma, many of which were related to violent

acts or suicides.

e. Geographical Distribution

The largest concentration of Los Angeles County’s homeless deaths occurred

within the City of Los Angeles (1,277 or 45 %). Although no other area

compares to these figures, there are many neighborhoods with significant

homeless mortality numbers. For example, Long Beach is second on the list,

with 154 homeless deaths, followed by Santa Monica with 111, Pasadena

with 55 and Hollywood with 48 [see Table 2]. Virtually every single

neighborhood has at least a few homeless deaths on its record, which clearly

f. Seasonal Distribution: See Figure 6

Homeless deaths were fairly evenly distributed among the four seasons of the

year, and do not appear to be weather-related. Winter was classified as the

period of December 23 to March 20, and claimed 770 lives, or 27% of the

total deaths. Spring (March 21 – June 20) was the second most deadly

season, with 696 deaths [25%] over the seven year span. There were 687

deaths [24%] during the summer (June 21 – September 23) and 660 [23%]

during the fall (September 24 – December 22). These numbers do not include

the period of May 29, 2007 to the present – when an additional 23-27% of the

homeless deaths will occur.

g. Number of Lost Years Due to Early or Untimely

Deaths

The 2,815 homeless people in our study were expected to live 211,878 years

based on the average life expectancy of their gender and ethnicity. They only

survived 135,528 of those expected years. A statistical analysis of the number of

years homeless people lived in comparison to the number of years they were

predicted to live according to life expectancy revealed that their lives were cut

short by 76,350 years. On average a homeless person’s life is 36% shorter than

a housed person’s life.

One of the most startling facts is that for homeless Latinas, their lives were 49%

shorter than expected. Their lifetimes were cut in half by homelessness. African

American females’ lives were 42% shorter than expected and Caucasian females

lives were 40% shorter than expected. Latino’s lives were 42% shorter than

expected, while Asian males’ lives were 40% shorter (See Appendix I).

IV. Discussion

a. Comparison to Other Cities

i. New York City:

In 2005 the City of New York passed Local Law 63 (LL63) which requires the

New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to track and

report the deaths of homeless persons. In 2006, the DOHMH began releasing

quarterly reports and analyses of homeless deaths in New York City. LL63

defines a “homeless person” as “a person who at the time of death did not have a

known street address of a residence at which he or she was known or

reasonably believed to have resided.” This definition leads to a more accurate

account of homeless deaths than does the process used by Los Angeles County.

New York City’s Department of Homeless Services releases a daily census of the

number of homeless people living in New York and an annual analysis of these

figures which details successful strategies and new partnerships. These studies

have shown that the number of unsheltered people has dropped 15% since

2005. Of the remaining unsheltered residents, 1,624 of them live in the city’s

subway system. In comparison to Los Angeles County, New York has a much

lower homeless population to general population ratio. New York City’s is one in

1,209 while Los Angeles’ is one in 137 according to 2006 data1.

The demographics of New York City’s homeless population are much more

polarized than Los Angeles’. In New York, 60% of the homeless are African

American, 25% are Hispanic and 15% are Caucasian. In terms of gender, New

York’s single homeless population is 76.8% male and 23.2% female.

Like Los Angeles, New Yorks’ homeless population is aging. Since 1999,

individuals over the age of 40 have made up more than 53% of the homeless

population.

Page 19: Dying without Dignity: Homeless Deaths in Los Angeles ...€¦ · Homelessness in Los Angeles: Los Angeles [city and county] has the disgrace of being the homeless capital of the

19

Nearly 1.7 billion is spent in New York from general funds to combat

homelessness. On January 30, 2006, the City of New York released a report

titled The Health of Homeless Adults in New York City which outlined five general

recommendations including increasing the availability of permanent supportive

housing and an immediate action plan to help improve the health of homeless

adults in New York.

By comparison, in 2005 the City and County of Los Angeles, in combined local,

state, federal and private funds spent only $600 million on homelessness. Los

Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa is proposing to spend a paltry .001% in new funds

compared to what NYC spends annually. New York has built over 16,000 units

of permanent supportive housing, reducing their homeless population

significantly; and allowing them to close one of their large shelters of nearly

1,000 beds because they have been successful in ending homelessness for

thousands of people.

ii. San Francisco:

The City of San Francisco has released a report on homeless deaths every year

since 1987. The study is conducted by the Community Health Epidemiology

Section of the City and County of San Francisco Health Department. They do this

for two reasons: “so that their names won’t be forgotten and—for more practical

purposes—to help us identify the gaps in our City’s system of care where we can

best focus our efforts to prevent future homeless deaths.2” In the years ranging

from 1990-1999 San Francisco experienced an average of 131.8 homeless

deaths per year. Los Angeles, in contrast, averaged 380 deaths per year from

2000-2007, a rate nearly three times as high as San Francisco.

In terms of gender, San Francisco’s homeless deaths have been similar to those

of Los Angeles. Homeless deaths have been around 85% male and 15% female.

However, in terms of race, San Francisco had higher rates of Caucasian (55%)

and African American (28%) homeless deaths than Los Angeles, where

2 http://www.sfdph.org/press/1999PR/pr122299.htm

Page 20: Dying without Dignity: Homeless Deaths in Los Angeles ...€¦ · Homelessness in Los Angeles: Los Angeles [city and county] has the disgrace of being the homeless capital of the

20

Caucasians made up 41% of deaths, while Hispanics made up 31% and African

Americans 25%. The homeless population of the Los Angeles study (48.1

years) lived an average of six years longer than population of San Francisco’s

study (42.3 years).

San Francisco created the Local Homeless Coordinating Board in 1996. On

August 1, 2007 the City of Coordinating Board released a five year strategic plan

titled Toward Ending Homelessness in San Francisco which addresses the

health of homeless people by providing “temporary respite to the medically frail

and works towards finding permanent housing for these clients3.” These

initiatives have created homes for thousands of San Francisco’s homeless.

iii. Seattle:

In 2003, the Health Care for the Homeless Network in Seattle-King County

released their first King County Homeless Death Review which aimed to

elucidate the problem of homeless deaths and health in their area. The Network

released another study in 2005 which found there were 82 homeless deaths in

Seattle-King County in 2004, 80% of which were men and 20% female. People of

color, especially African Americans (15%) and Native Americans (10%), were

disproportionately represented in relation to the area’s general population,

however 63% of the deaths were Caucasian. The top three leading causes of

death were: acute intoxication, traumatic injuries, and cardiovascular disease.

Illness and other chronic conditions accounted for 33% of deaths. The average

age of the homeless was 47 years, with 76% of deaths coming between the ages

of 30 and 59 years of age. Most of the deaths occurred in Seattle (71%), followed

by South King County (17%). The average life span of 47 fell 30 years short of

the national average in 2004 of 77.6 years.

The report outlined five critical steps that aim to alleviate suffering and prevent

premature deaths for the County’s homeless. The steps call to first, make

strategic increases in outreach and engagement. Second, to promote recovery 3 http://www.sfgov.org/site/uploadedfiles/lhcb/documents/SFCoCDraft.pdf

Page 21: Dying without Dignity: Homeless Deaths in Los Angeles ...€¦ · Homelessness in Los Angeles: Los Angeles [city and county] has the disgrace of being the homeless capital of the

21

by ensuring that people in homeless shelters, day centers, and housing

programs can and do access health care services—including addiction services,

mental health care, and medical care. Third, to increase and sharpen strategies

to address chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease and

diabetes among homeless people. Fourth, to increase access to housing and

prevent loss of housing: housing is health care. And fifth, to support future

homeless death reviews.

iv. Boston :

In 1997, a study was conducted on 606 homeless deaths that occurred in Boston

from 1988 to 1993. The sample was comprised of persons who sought medical

attention through the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program between 1

July 1988 and 31 December 1993. The age at time of death ranged from 18 to 86

with an average age of 47 years. An interesting fact brought to light in the study

was that while the population of the sample was 68% male and 32% female, the

makeup of homeless deaths was 86% male and 14% female.

Nearly half (48%) of the deaths were of people ages 25 to 44 years. Homicide

was the leading cause of death for persons between the ages of 18 and 24,

followed by traumatic injuries and poisonings (such as drug overdoses). Between

the ages of 25 and 44, AIDS was the leading cause of death, however heart

disease was also a major contributor. The rate of death from heart disease was

more than three times higher than the general population. For older homeless

persons, heart disease and cancer were the major causes of death.

From their analysis, the study’s authors outlined action steps and

recommendations to reduce fatal health problems among Boston’s homeless

population. The report statistically showed the devastating impact of the AIDS

epidemic on Boston’s homeless population. Efforts to reduce the rate of AIDS-

related deaths in homeless persons and early treatment to prevent HIV infection

were made a focus of homeless death prevention. Since pneumonia and

influenza were frequent causes of death, even in younger age groups, efforts to

vaccinate all homeless persons against such diseases were made into a strong

issue. The authors concluded that the efforts to reduce mortality rates among

homeless persons should focus on treatable and preventable conditions. The

treatment of underlying problems, such as substance abuse, would also need to

be addressed4.

b. Policy Recommendations:

1. Annual report from LA County: The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors should instruct the appropriate County departments, including the Coroners office, Department of Health Services and the Public Health Department, to conduct an annual analysis of homeless deaths and issue a report along the lines of this report. Deeper analysis into selected homeless death cases can reveal specific weak points in homeless response efforts, and promote more effective work across the systems of care that are organizing to end homelessness in our community. In addition, analysis of homeless cases that are not captured by this methodology may provide greater integrity for comparison between years. In addition, further analysis needs to be done of what week of the month has the highest death rates. For example, Seattle found that it was the first week of the month. The increased number of deaths during the first week of each month may indicate that the arrival of disability checks at the beginning of the month leads to a flurry of substance abuse, injury, and death. If so, mortality in homeless persons might be reduced by carefully monitored payee programs that administer funds on behalf of disabled persons 2. Increase access to Primary and Preventive Care: The leading causes if death reported here are preventable and treatable. Regrettably, well documented barriers – chiefly lack of health insurance or ability to pay – continue to block homeless persons’ access to care. Local, state and national legislative bodies and health authorities should move immediately to assure that everyone has health care coverage and access to the quality health that can avoid unnecessary deaths. For example, pneumonia and influenza were frequent causes of death, even in younger age groups. Homeless persons may be at increased risk for these infections because of a high prevalence of alcoholism, smoking, HIV infection, and chronic disease. Efforts to vaccinate all homeless persons against pneumonia and influenza should be a priority.

3. Support overdose prevention programs: Los Angeles County should support and fund overdose prevention programs in emergency shelters, jails, substance abuse programs and other programs where those at high risk for overdose congregate. This would include support for a countywide Naloxone overdose prevention and distribution program as well as support for needle exchange programs countywide. 4. Promote recovery:

Promote recovery by ensuring that people in homeless shelters, day centers, and housing programs can and do access health care services—including addiction services, mental health care, and medical care.

5. Improved discharge planning:

Improve discharge planning from county facilities including hospitals, jails and foster care to ensure that people are not discharge into homelessness.

6. Regional priority to end and prevent homelessness t hrough creating permanent housing:

The high risk for death from homicide and accidental injury is a predictable result of poverty, substance abuse, and living on the streets. Increasing the availability of adequate low-income housing could conceivably reduce this risk. Los Angeles City, County and surrounding cities should pool their funding to begin to create 50,000 units or permanent housing over the next ten years. These jurisdictions should provide interim housing, not shelters, until permanent housing is available.

7. Increase economic stability: Los Angeles City and County and surrounding cities in greater LA should increase the economic stability of homeless people through increasing employment services, mainstream financial entitlements and education. Finally, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors must raise LA Countys’ General Relief level [$221 a month- the same level as in 1984] to an amount that will house GR recipients for the entire month.
