Highlights:
All major subpopulations —Veterans,
Youth, Families, and Seniors— have
decreased rates of unsheltered
homelessness, while shelter access
has continued to grow across those
same groups.
Sheltered increase reflects
increased program participation
in CALWORKS and system-wide
capacity growth
For every 2 people entering
homelessness for the first time, 3
individuals were housed and
maintained stable housing.
More individuals are sheltered than
unsheltered, showing real momentum
toward stability and support.
