SPECIAL THANKS
City Net thanks the city of Bellflower and the
Bellflower Sheriff’s Department for their help
conducting this census and for their tireless
efforts to support and empower homeless
neighbors in the city.Additionally,we thank
the dozens of homeless individuals who
voluntarily agreed to participate in the
census.Our hope is that this data will prove
to be useful in connecting these
homeless neighbors to resources including
shelter and housing.

PURPOSE
OVERVIEW
City Net was contracted by
the city of Bellflower in 2019,
2020,and 2022 to organize
and implement homeless
censuses to:
1. Identify a baseline number
of individuals living without
housing against which to
measure all homelessness
prevention and intervention
efforts.
2. Determine the
demographic, asset, and
other special characteristics
of individuals without
housing to better inform
resource allocation.
The first unsheltered census conducted by City
Net took place on May 21st and 23rd, 2019.The second
took place on October 20th and 22nd,2020.The third
and current census took place on the morning of April
19th and the evening of April 21st, 2022.
These City Net censuses are distinct but
complementary projects from the HUD-mandated,
county-wide Point-in-Time Count. The censuses allow
for a city-specific focus with more time, staff
resources, and local questions than is generally
possible within the framework of the Point-in-Time
Count.
ABOUT THE CENSUS
PAGE 04 BELLFLOWER 2022 CENSUS COMPARISON REPORTDRAFT
METHODOLOGY
During all censuses, multiple teams were deployed with a Bellflower Sheriff’s Department Deputy. Each Deputy was paired with at least one City Net surveyor. Each surveyor’s area was indicated on assigned maps and mapped ahead of time. Specific locations where homeless individuals were known to gather or sleep were highlighted so that these areas could be prioritized during the census. Because the goal of this project was a comprehensive census, even those areas on the teams’ maps where no homeless individuals were known to gather or sleep were visited, including residential areas where homeless individuals are rarely seen.
Teams were deployed from the Bellflower Sheriff Substation twice during the census week.
Homeless individuals who did not wish to answer the survey questions were simply counted. Responses from participants, including timestamps and geolocations, were captured electronically through a secure GIS survey application. Duplicates were removed after the completion of the census by comparing names and age ranges. Because Comparison Reports must correlate data over multiple years, new category names may arise to allow for direct comparisons. For 2019, City Net also added known demographic, asset, and special characteristic data from their active client case management roster of individuals who were known to sleep in Bellflower. These individuals were not encountered during the census days (May 21st & 23rd, 2019) but were encountered within the 30 days prior to the census.
The terms “disability” and “addiction” were not defined in the survey, so the data in these categories do not necessarily represent diagnosable conditions, but only respondents’ self- perceptions of the condition. Also, the only way to identify duplicates in the census was to compare the names and ages of those who chose to complete the survey. Because the census occurred over multiple days, unsheltered individuals who chose not to complete the survey may have been counted more than once, and artificial inflation of the count, therefore, cannot be ruled out. The margin of error for the Bellflower 2022 Homeless Census dataset ranges between 0.00% and 2.18%. Some percentage totals in this report may appear to be above or below 100.0% due to rounding.

This data was provided by the Bellflower New
Hope Shelter run by Mercy House as their
Sheltered Count,thus, it is separate from the
Unsheltered Count that is reported on pages 1 to
28 and 30 to 37.
Across both census days (April 19th & 21st), there
was a total of 41 unique sheltered individuals. 35
of these individuals were in the New Hope
Shelter on both the 19th and the 21st of April. Four
individuals were only present on the 19th, while
another two individuals were only present on
the 21st.

Overall Number Decrease. The overall total unsheltered count has decreased from 172 in 2019 to 75 in 2022, a total decrease of 56%*. In recent years,the total unsheltered count increased slightly from 60 in 2020 to 75 in 2022, a total increase of 25%.
Migratory Population. An inherent reality of homelessness is its hidden and transitory nature‒both as people move in and out of the city and in and out of housing. This can be seen in the diagram on Page 26. Of the individuals who provided sufficient name and date of birth information to belong to a comparable dataset, 46 of them were unique to the 2022 census. Only three individuals have appeared in all three census counts (2019, 2020, & 2022),a very small number which is consistent with City Net’s findings in other cities.
Intervention efforts to connect homeless neighbors to shelter and housing are critical, and have been effective in Bellflower, but others continue to fall into homelessness.
Receptivity to Shelter and Resources. In 2022, 82% of respondents were interested in case management while 47% of respondents were interested in going to a shelter, a notable increase from 39% in 2020. *Percentages were rounded to the nearest whole number on this page only. Please see Appendix I for more details on responses.
