Most homeless Californians are from California

Most research indicates the majority of people who are homeless in California are from California—commonly cited figures show around 80% were last living indoors in the county where they are now homeless—so the idea that homeless people migrate cross-country to California because it is a better place to be homeless is not the real issue.
