"It's a struggle," she said, "but these women aren't so broken they can't be fixed. " Hopefully, the same can be said about the process by which Los Angeles ineffectively distributes its already meager homeless-related services. As visible as the crisis is on skid row, up to 20% of the county's homeless population lives in South Los Angeles and an additional 10% lives in East L. A.
