DISCUSSION
On Wednesday, January 22, 2025, the Riverside County Department of Housing and Workforce Solutions’ (HWS) Office of Homeless Services facilitated the Homeless Point- in-Time Count (“PIT Count”). The PIT Count was coordinated in partnership with the Riverside County Continuum of Care (CoC) (a network of private - and public -sector homeless service providers), all 28 cities, Board of Supervisors, County Executive Office, and multiple county departments such as the Department of Public Social Services (DPSS), Riverside County Information of Techno logy Services (RCIT), Riverside University Health System – Behavioral Health (RUHS -BH), Code Enforcement, Probation, and Riverside Sheriff’s Office (RSO).

The count is federally mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and provides estimates on the number of sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals on a single night across the nation, including Riverside County. The sheltered count consists of all adults and children residing in emergency shelters or transitional housin g on the night of the count, with data sourced from the countywide Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). In contrast, the unsheltered count captures individuals living in locations not intended for human habitation such as vehicles, parks, sidewal ks, abandoned buildings, or the streets and are identified through a combination of street -based enumeration, service -based engagement, and outreach efforts conducted across all areas of the county, including unincorporated regions. While valuable, the PIT Count is not designed to provide a complete enumeration of the homeless population.
Overall Count - Countywide:
3,990 total sheltered and unsheltered PIT count for 2025 (7% increase from 2023) * 1,978 total unsheltered PIT count for 2025 (19% decrease from 2023) * 2,012 total sheltered PIT count for 2025 (11% increase from 2024) * **
*Unsheltered PIT count is conducted once every two years, while sheltered count is conducted annually.
**Sheltered increase reflects new provider participation, HUD guidance, and system-wide capacity growth.
Overall Count - Citywide:
154 total sheltered and unsheltered PIT count for 2025 (52.4% increase from 2023) * 55 total unsheltered PIT count for 2025 (28.5% decrease from 2023) * 99 total sheltered PIT count for 2025 (312% increase from 2023) * **
*Unsheltered PIT count is conducted once every two years, while sheltered count is conducted annually.
**Sheltered increase reflects new provider participation, HUD guidance, and system-wide capacity growth.
