Alameda County Executive Summary
2022 HOMELESS POINT-IN-TIME COUNT & SURVEY
In the early morning hours of February 23, over 500 staff of outreach and other nonprofit programs, individuals with current or recent experience of homelessness, city and county employees, and community volunteers participated in an effort to count people experiencing homelessness in Alameda County the night of February 22, 2022. The Homelessness Response System relies on this biennial count and survey of those experiencing homelessness to gain a better understanding about the prevalence of and the circumstances surrounding homelessness in Alameda County and its cities. This data is foundational to investing in housing and programs to the scale necessary to reduce homelessness and evaluating the impact of efforts to date. The voices of people experiencing homelessness gathered through this count and survey are used to inform enhancements and improvements to services and the pathways to housing and are an important look at the health, needs, history, and background of our residents experiencing homelessness in Alameda County.
The methodology for this Point In Time Count and Survey is multi-faceted, compliant with federal requirements, and consistent with the core methodology used in 2017 and 2019, with some areas of enhancement in population-specific outreach in 2022. Data on this dashboard is derived from multiple sources as noted in the Info button to the left of the Executive Summary tab. The complete report of the 2022 Homeless Point In Time Count and Survey will contain a more comprehensive discussion of Alameda County’s PIT Count and Survey methodology.
