LA TIMES - ONE HOMELESS PERSON IN THREE IN LOS ANGELES IS A WOMAN
One in three homeless people in Los Angeles County are women, according to government figures released this year. The total of more than 14,000 women is a 55% increase from 2013. The number of women camped out in RVs, tents and lean-tos doubled in the last three years.
Homeless women face staggering levels of violence, in shelters and homeless housing as well as on the streets. A survey released this week by the Downtown Women’s Action Coalition, a consortium of service providers and advocates, found that nearly half of skid row women had been attacked in the previous 12 months; more than a quarter of them were sexually assaulted.

UP WITH WOMEN - HOMELESS LIST
We're always thinking, how can we give support, information, tell our homeless brothers and sisters that they are not as alone as they feel?
So we found this site called UP WITH WOMEN.
Did you know that Hilary Swank, Joan Rivers, Debbie Reynolds, Sally Jesse Raphael, Ella Fitzgerald, Rose McGowan, Lil Kim, Eartha Kitt, Kelly Clarkson, and Halle Berry, now famous for their accomplishments as singers and actors, experienced different degrees of homelessness?
The lists don't stop there! Linking here to UP WITH WOMEN!

HAVE YOU BEEN RAPED ON THE STREET?
Homeless women seem to be targeted for rape more than women who are housed. This is one of the reasons homeless women seem to seek programs and shelters more than homeless men. Sometimes it's linked to prostitution, often not.
There are a number of reasons that homeless women are attacked. Mostly they are more vulnerable. Unfortunately, some homeless people are unable to check their impulses due to drug use or mental illness. HOMELESS ON HOMELESS STREET CRIME is a terrible reality, although some homeless, by carefully selecting their street buddies, do avoid it.
