Los Angeles County has one of the largest homeless populations in the country, and its only getting bigger. A recent count puts the number of people on the street, or in shelters,  at almost 47,000. Government-subsidized housing vouchers is one solution for putting a roof over someone’s head, but in a highly charged real-estate market with soaring rents,  these vouchers don’t go very far.  LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl works with the housing authority on this issue. She joined the show to talk about the status of theses vouchers, and whether there might be an alternative way to put roofs over people’s heads.
