A group of volunteers were seen huddled around the father-of-three as he spoke to them just feet away from what appeared to be an encampment. Later, Affleck was seen taking a smoke break as he walked around the area with a woman carrying a binder by his side.

For his volunteer day, Affleck suited up in a stylish neutral-toned look that included a collared sweater over a blue and white striped button-up shirt. He completed his outfit with gray slacks, white Nike sneakers and a beige jacket.

There are over 75,000 unhoused residents living on the streets across Los Angeles county, according to AP. Los Angeles' homeless crisis prompted Mayor Karen Bass to declare a state of emergency when she took office in 2022. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority's 2024 census revealed that 'the homeless population declined by 0.27% to 75,312 in LA County, and by 2.2% to 45,252 in the City of LA' last year.

But any progress that was made could take a hit as the LA wildfires that broke out earlier this month have left thousands of residents without a place to live. The blazes decimated the Pacific Palisades and Altadena and forced people in surrounding neighborhoods to evacuate.
