LOS ANGELES, CA – JANUARY 28, 2011: A person sleeps next to a walker in Los Angeles, CA January 27, 2011. Volunteers set out for the third night in a row to count the homeless for the 2011 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count. This person is counted. Counting the homeless brings federal, state, and local funding to homeless service and to housing providers. (Francine Orr / Los Angeles Times)
