Gladwyn d’Souza#BidenomicEvictions:
When Erickson lost her eviction case in early January, she was entirely alone, unrepresented by a lawyer and without family to aid her. That’s changed. A small coterie of volunteers, acquaintances, as well as government and nonprofit workers have come to her assistance.
She is one of 75,518 homeless people in Los Angeles County, part of a growing cohort of unhoused seniors. People over 55 are the fastest growing group of unhoused people in the state, as CalMatters has reported.
“All I want is an apartment that I can get into that can be subsidized,” Erickson said.
