SPOKANE, Wash. — The City of Spokane released its 2025 Longitudinal Systems Analysis (LSA) on Monday, and says the data shows fewer people are entering the homeless system, fewer people are relying on services within the system and more people are successfully exiting homelessness into stability.
The LSA is an annual report submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that provides a detailed, system-wide view of how people experiencing homelessness interact with services over time.
