KBEH-TV Channel 63 Visit PATH

Today, KBEH-TV visited the PATH (People Assisting The Homeless) facility outside of downtown Los Angeles to film PATH’s national model of serving homeless people. This station is the Spanish-language cable channel on 63.

It is certainly appropriate for this Spanish-language cable channel that covers 5.4 million households in Los Angeles, Riverside, and Santa Barbara markets to report on homelessness. In the latest Los Angeles County homeless count, 25% of the homeless population is reported to be Latino. That is just over 20,000 people.
