The city of Rosemead received a special round of funds aimed to help those without homes. An amount of $1,222,084 was awarded from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to be used on services that provide aid to those who experience homelessness in Rosemead. According to data collected by the Los Angeles Homelessness Services Authority (LAHSA ), the homeless population in Rosemead has gradually increased from 20 homeless persons in 2016 to 79 homeless in 2021. In an effort to support and reduce the homeless population in the city, Rosemead's city council drafted a plan to distribute the funds.
