This morning’s Los Angeles Times carried an article on counting LA’s hidden homeless youth.  http://lat.ms/1SJkQ3w .

The article covers the part of this week’s homeless count that targets kids who are on the streets but avoid shelters.  Some of them fear exploitation; others don’t want to leave their neighborhoods and friends.  In any case, they pass as street kids during the day and find places to sleep at night.

Many have aged-out of the foster care system.  L.A. is trying to find ways to give them greater support.
