Final Report
Acknowledgements
The San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership wishes to thank all of the individuals and organizations that contributed to the preparation, implementation, and success of the 2020 Point-In-Time Count and Subpopulation Survey. Such an endeavor would not be possible without the collaboration and efforts of many volunteers, community groups, faith- and community-based organizations, county departments, city representatives and staff, homeless service providers, law enforcement and elected officials. Your hard work, time and dedication to ending homelessness are greatly appreciated.
 Special thanks to approximately 600 community volunteers from all across San Bernardino county who canvassed areas identified as “green count zones” the morning of January 23rd, to complete the 2020 PointIn-Time-Count and Subpopulation Survey.  Special thanks to the following agencies and community organizations that contributed staff time, support and resources, and office space for planning, training and development activities to help make the 2020 Point-InTime Count and Subpopulation Survey a success:

Table 3 notes that nearly three-fourths (72.6%) or 2,270 of the 3,125 homeless adults and children were counted within eight cities that include Barstow, Colton, Fontana, Ontario, Redlands, Rialto, San Bernardino, and Victorville. These eight cities accounted for three-fourths

9 (74.5%) of the total unsheltered population as well as nearly three-fourths (70.2%) of persons counted in shelters and transitional housing including a safe haven program.

Unsheltered Persons
Of the 3,125 persons counted in 2020, 2,390 or more than three-fourths (76.5%) were unsheltered, which is defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as
“An individual or family who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, meaning: (i) An individual or family with a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.”
HUD also requires that the total number of unsheltered and sheltered adults be broken down by various subpopulations including age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Of the 2,390 unsheltered persons counted, 2,361 were adults, 8 were unaccompanied youth under age 18, and 21 were children under age 18 in families.

10 Gender
The following table provides a breakdown by gender for adults, unaccompanied youth under age 18, and children in families under age 18. HUD requires the summary to consist of men, women, transgender, and gender non-conforming (i.e., not exclusively male or female).

Nearly three-fourths (71.5%) of adults and children were male and more than two-thirds (27.8%) were female.

Other Survey Questions
Questions Asked in 2019 and 2020
There were additional questions that were added to the survey that were shaped by local stakeholders. The questions are noted below. Volunteers were able to elicit responses from 1,517 adults.

First Time Homeless
Did you become homeless for the first time during the past 12 months?  28.6% or 434 of the 1,517 adults stated “yes.”

13 Chronic Health Condition
Has a doctor or other medical professional ever told you that you have a chronic health condition that is life-threatening such as heart, lung, liver, kidney or cancerous disease?  20.4% or 310 of the 1,517 adults stated “yes.”
Released from Prison or Jail
Were you released from prison or jail during the past 12 months?  22.8% or 346 of the 1,517 adults stated “yes.”

14 Sheltered Persons
Of the 3,125 persons counted in 2020, 735 persons or 23.5% were sheltered. Among the 735 sheltered persons, 537 were counted in shelters or received a motel voucher and 198 were counted in transitional housing programs, including a safe haven program. HUD states that persons living in shelters or transitional housing programs (including safe haven programs) on the night of the count must be included in the homeless count and subpopulation survey.

As required by HUD, the sheltered count included the number of persons and households sleeping in emergency shelters (including seasonal shelters) and transitional housing programs that were listed on the Housing Inventory Chart (HIC). In addition, any persons staying in hotels or motels as a result of receiving a voucher from a social service agency were included in the sheltered count per HUD’s instructions if the voucher program was listed on the HIC.

HUD also requires that the total number of sheltered persons be broken down by pre-designated subpopulations. The total number of sheltered persons by the pre-designated subpopulations for 2020 are listed in the table below.

The Homeless Inventory Count (HIC) was submitted by the Office of Homeless Services (OHS) staff to HUD in April 2018. Prior to the homeless count, the HIC was specifically undated to include any new programs or exclude any programs no longer operational by OHS staff and Key Person Task Force members. A few changes were made to the HIC prior to the count.

HUD encourages the use of Homeless Management Information Services (HMIS) data to generate sheltered counts and subpopulation data for programs with 100% of beds participating in HMIS.

Therefore, HMIS was used to gather the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation. A “Data Collection Instrument” was used to collect the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation for nonparticipating HMIS programs and for HMIS participating agencies that do not have their HMIS data complete and correct. The same questions used to collect subpopulation data through HMIS were used for the data collection instrument. Thus, sheltered count data for all sheltered programs was gathered either through a data collection sheet or HMIS.

The following table provides a breakdown of the sheltered population (735 adults and children) by the subpopulations required by HUD.

16 Next Steps and Recommendations
This section outlines 11 steps that the San Bernardino County Continuum of Care should take to help end homelessness. These steps are aligned with several evidence-based and best practices that have helped achieve unprecedented decreases in the total number of homeless persons, particularly among families, chronic homeless persons, and veterans across the country.

The 11 steps/recommendations include:

1. Recognize the Recent Evolution of Homelessness as a Human Services Crisis The recent significant increases of local homelessness should be recognized as a human services crisis that must be met with a wide-range of human services that mitigate primary factors that contribute to persons languishing homeless on the streets. Factors include:
 Managing life-threatening illnesses while living on the streets;  Coping with progressive end-stage diseases leading to terminal illnesses;  Aging on the streets;
 declining mental illnesses, which is often accompanied by a general disregard to self.

2. Create and Coordinate a County Strike Force Team
A Strike Force Team should be created and coordinated to care for treat life-threatening illnesses, progressive end-stage diseases leading to terminal illnesses, aging, and declining mental illness.

Strike Force Team members should include the following county departments:
 Public Health;
 Behavioral Health;
 Aging and Adult Services;
 Transitional Assistance;
 Children and Family Services;
 Sheriff’s Department HOPE Team;
 InnROADs project;
 Office of Homeless Services.

Strike Force Team should meet on an on-going basis to coordinate efforts.

17 3. Augment Strike Force Team
The Strike Force Team should be augmented by a wide-range of public and private organizations that includes coordination with city homelessness resources and designated staff, and health, mental health, aging, family, and children private sector service providers.

4. Encourage each city to adopt its unsheltered homeless count numbers as baseline numbers.

Each city should be encouraged to adopt the results of the unsheltered homeless count in its jurisdiction as noted in Appendix A. After the cities adopting their numbers, each city should be encouraged to implement the other steps below.

5. Increase the Number of Permanent Supportive Housing Units.

Each jurisdiction should consider increasing its number of permanent supportive housing units in order to meet the needs of those homeless persons with disabling conditions who were counted within its neighborhoods. These persons are noted by jurisdiction in Appendix A and include persons with mental illness, substance abuse, and physical disabilities. Jurisdictions with significant numbers of chronic homeless persons, veterans, and persons recently released from correctional institutions after serving a court-mandated sentence should also consider increasing their number of permanent supportive housing units. Increases in units should be based on evidence-based practices to ensure success.

Permanent Supportive Housing provides long-term affordable rental housing and a broad range of on-site and/or off-site wrap-around supportive services. The goal is to increase independent living skills of residents who pay no more than 30% of their monthly income for rent so that they can maintain their housing. Those persons without permanent disabling conditions may ultimately become self-sufficient while living in affordable housing and may eventually pay 100% of their rent and may or may not need supportive services.

6. Set an annual quantifiable number of permanent supportive housing units to be developed based on the number of unsheltered chronically homeless individuals identified in the recent Point-in-Time homeless count, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and Coordinated Entry System (CES) An annual quantifiable number of permanent supportive housing units should be set based on the number of unsheltered chronically homeless households in the recent Point-in-Time homeless count, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), and Coordinated Entry

18 System (CES). Once annual numbers have been set, progress towards achieving each year’s goal should be reported regularly.

Persons with Life-threatening Chronic Health Conditions Particular attention should be given to those persons who are languishing on the streets and who have life-threatening chronic health conditions. During the recent point-in-time count, persons counted were asked “Has a doctor or other medical professional ever told you that you have a chronic health condition that is life-threatening such as heart, lung, liver, kidney or cancerous disease? As noted on page 13, 310 unsheltered persons or 24.4% of all unsheltered adults surveyed stated “yes.”
Persons Aging on the Streets
Particular attention should also be given to persons aging on the streets. There is a significant number of persons who are aging on the streets.

In 2020, the number of persons counted as unsheltered who were age 55+ was 480. In 2019, the number of persons counted as unsheltered who were age 55+ was 422. In 2018, the number of persons counted as unsheltered who were age 55+ was 246. This represents an increase of 234 persons age 55+ between 2018 and 2020 or 95.1%.

According to emergent research in this area, the growth of elder homelessness can be attributed to the aging of existing chronically homeless individuals. Thus, it is important to target the needs of older adults experiencing homelessness by making sure that housing is accessible to persons with disabilities and that transportation to medical or healthcare appointments is available.

Persons Recently Released from Correctional Institutions Particular attention should also be given to persons recently released from correctional institutions since realignment has resulted in thousands of prisoners being released or transferred to county jails. As noted on page 13, nearly one-fourth (22.8%) of persons surveyed answered “yes” when asked if they were released from a correctional institution such as a jail or prison during the past 12 months after serving a court-ordered sentence.

Permanent supportive housing for ex-offenders should be based on evidence-based practices that have resulted in optimal outcomes for homeless ex-offenders reentering communities.

These practices include the provision of housing with appropriate wrap-around services such as substance abuse counseling and treatment and life coping skills that help ex-offenders

19 successfully transition into local communities. These practices also include a clear path to career development and/or employment and reunification with family members including children.

Optimal outcomes include reductions in recidivism and recurrence of homelessness. The chances of recidivism significantly lessen when offenders are re-engaged with family members and in particular with their children. The chances of recidivism also significantly lessen when offenders develop marketable skills that lead to on-going employment. Employment also encourages exoffenders to take the initial steps to reunite with family members. The chances of ex-offenders becoming homeless again also significantly lessen with on-going employment and efforts to foster relationships with family members after reunification.

7. Prioritize through the Coordinated Entry System the most vulnerable and frail persons who are languishing on the streets including those with life-threatening health conditions and/or who are aging on the streets
The most vulnerable and frail persons who are languishing on the streets should be prioritized for permanent supportive housing through the Coordinated Entry System (CES). Such persons should include those with life-threatening health conditions and/or who are aging on the streets.

Related language in the written standards and the policy and procedures for the CES should be updated to reflect this prioritization.

8. Completely align with a Housing First model and low barrier approach for chronically homeless individuals and families consistent with federal, state, and local approaches.

Aligning a coordinated system with a Housing First and low barrier approach will help chronically homeless households obtain and maintain permanent affordable housing, regardless of their service needs or challenges, by removing barriers that hinder them from obtaining and maintaining permanent affordable housing.

Chronically homeless persons can achieve stability in permanent housing, regardless of their service needs or challenges, if provided with appropriate levels of services. Through this approach, barriers are removed that have hindered homeless persons from obtaining housing such as too little income or no income; active or history of substance use; criminal record, with exceptions for state-mandated restrictions, and history of having been or currently a victim of domestic violence (e.g., lack of a protective order, period of separation from abuser, or law enforcement involvement). Furthermore, through this approach barriers that have hindered homeless persons from maintaining housing are removed, such as failure to participate in

20 supportive services; failure to make progress on a service plan; loss of income or failure to improve income; and fleeing domestic violence.

9. Completely align with a rapid rehousing and low barrier approach for nonchronically homeless individuals and families.

Aligning a coordinated system with a rapid rehousing and low barrier approach will help nonchronically homeless households obtain and maintain permanent affordable housing regardless of their service needs or challenges by removing barriers that hinder them from obtaining and maintaining permanent affordable housing.

Rapid rehousing assistance helps individuals and families quickly exit homelessness to permanent housing. Rapid rehousing assistance is offered without preconditions (such as employment, income, absence of criminal record, or sobriety), and the resources and services provided are typically tailored to the unique needs of the household. The core components of a rapid rehousing program include housing identification services, financial assistance for rent and movein, and accompanying case management and supportive services. While the program has all three-core components available, it is not required that a household utilize them all.

10. Align the current homeless services delivery system with a goal of ending homelessness among unaccompanied women.

Unaccompanied women experiencing homelessness often present with complex histories of cumulative trauma exposure, substance use, mental illness, and chronic disease among other conditions and circumstances. However, despite evidence that housing along with supportive services is the best intervention to end homelessness, continuums of care across the country have yet to identify the nature of specific interventions through a gender lens. Identifying interventions that benefit and maximize women’s access to services as well as housing with supportive services is an overdue priority. Trauma-informed care should be a top priority.

There is room for innovation. Identifying factors that promote housing retention and housing stability among women is highly encouraged. This includes interventions aligned with a Housing First approach that work best to support the ultimate goals of housing, promotion of wellbeing, and the promotion of thriving or human flourishing for women who have experienced homelessness.

21 11. Increase Rapid Rehousing Assistance
Efforts to rapidly rehouse households should include a focus on households living in vehicles. The 2020 homeless count and survey included the question, “Where did you sleep last night.” Nearly 200 households slept in a car, truck, van, or RV that was in disrepair.

As it was stated before, Rapid rehousing assistance helps individuals and families quickly exit homelessness to permanent housing. Rapid rehousing assistance is offered without preconditions (such as employment, income, absence of criminal record, or sobriety), and the resources and services provided are typically tailored to the unique needs of the household. The core components of a rapid re-housing program include housing identification services, financial assistance for rent and move-in, and accompanying case management and supportive services.

While a rapid re-housing program has all three-core components available, it is not required that a household utilize them all.

22 II. Background Information
HUD, as part of its requirements for local jurisdictions to continue to receive continuum of care funding for homeless persons, asks local jurisdictional applicants to conduct a “one-day point-intime” homeless count every other year during the last 10 days of January. The County of San Bernardino is one of approximately 400 jurisdictions that submit an annual application to HUD for continuum of care funding.

When was the count conducted?
The homeless count was conducted on the streets during the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. on January 23, 2020. The count was also conducted on the same day in shelters and transitional housing programs throughout the county for persons who slept in these programs beginning the night before.

HUD does allow counting under certain circumstances such as hard-to-reach and remote places up to a week after the count as long as persons were asked if they were homeless on the day of the count and a unique identifier is used to prevent duplication. A limited amount of counting occurred during the Monday and Tuesday following the count in a few hard-to-reach and remote places. Persons were asked if they were homeless on the day of the count and a unique identifier was used to prevent duplication as described in the Methodology section below.

Who was counted?
Per HUD’s instructions, a person was considered homeless, and thus counted, only when he/she fell within the HUD-based definition by residing in one of the places described below:
 In places not meant for human habitation, such as cars, parks, sidewalks, and abandoned buildings;
 In an emergency shelter; and
 In transitional housing for homeless persons.

Who was not counted?
Per HUD’s instructions, a person was not considered homeless if the person resided in one of the following places noted below
 Medical facilities, such as hospitals, psychiatric facilities, and nursing homes;  Jails, prisons or juvenile detention facilities;
 Chemical dependency facilities, such as substance abuse treatment facilities and detox centers;

23  Foster care homes or foster care group homes.

Also, per HUD’s instructions, children identified by McKinney-Vento Homeless Coordinators at schools as homeless should not be counted. Children may be counted during the count if they live in an emergency shelter or transitional housing program, or if they are unsheltered.

Lastly, HUD does not consider the following persons to be homeless—persons who are “doubled up,” or persons who are “near homelessness”—but considers them to be at risk of becoming homeless. Thus, such persons were not included in the homeless count.

The County of San Bernardino, like many other counties, has a substantial number of households that are at risk of becoming homeless. The Census Bureau noted that 18 percent or nearly 132,000 households consisting of about 400,000 residents in San Bernardino County were living below the poverty level as reported in the 2018 American Community Survey. Also, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were more than 120,000 households consisting of about 400,000 persons (nearly one of every five residents) in San Bernardino County who were members of a household whose annual income was less than $25,000 in 2018. There were approximately 65,000 households consisting of approximately 200,000 persons whose annual income was less than $15,000 a year.

Many of these persons can become homeless because of social structural issues such as increases in rent, loss of jobs, and rising health care costs. In addition, personal experiences such as domestic violence, physical disabilities, mental illness, and substance abuse can cause members of a low-income household or an entire household to become homeless. Often, one or more of these experiences factor into a household’s homelessness experience.

Who carried out the count?
The homeless count and subpopulation survey was a joint effort of the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership, the San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services, and the Institute for Urban Initiatives. Approximately 600 community volunteers were recruited to implement the count and subpopulation survey. As noted in the Acknowledgements section of this report, there were nearly 30 agencies that contributed staff time and office space for training and deployment of counters and there were 24 law enforcement agencies that provided their time, knowledge, and expertise concerning locations of homeless persons. Also, there were nearly 30 additional agencies that helped with the planning process, including the San Bernardino County Information Services Department, which created maps to guide counters.

The San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP) was formed to provide a more focused approach to issues of homelessness within the County. Its primary purpose is to develop a countywide public and private partnership and to coordinate services and resources to end homelessness in San Bernardino County. The Partnership consists of community and faith-based organizations, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, private industry, and federal,

24 state, and local governments. SBCHP was developed to promote a strong collaboration between agencies to direct the planning, development, and implementation of the County’s 10-year Strategy to end chronic homelessness. The Partnership provides leadership in creating a comprehensive countywide network of service delivery to the homeless and near-homeless families and individuals through facilitating better communication, planning, coordination, and cooperation among all entities that provide services and/or resources to relieve homelessness.

The San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services (OHS) serves as a “clearinghouse” of homeless issues for all County departments. Any homeless issues encountered by County staff can be referred to this office for resolution. OHS staff plays a vital role in the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership as the administrative support unit to the organization. OHS insures that the vision, mission and goals of the Partnership are carried into effect.

The Institute for Urban Initiatives consists of several community-based and faith-based institutes that respond to the economic, housing, and social needs of neighborhoods, cities, and counties from local community, regional, national, international, and faith-based perspectives and has completed over 50 assessments for local government and private organizations throughout Southern California that have focused on affordable housing, business development and education for micro-businesses, fair housing, homelessness, migrant farming, and street vending.

25 III. Methodology
Unsheltered Count and Subpopulation Survey
As in past years, the following activities were conducted: 1) organizing the count and subpopulation survey; 2) coordinating the count and subpopulation survey; 3) implementing the count and subpopulation survey; and 4) analyzing the sub-population data. However, the third activity, implementing the count and subpopulation survey, significantly changed as described in sub-section 3 below. Also, the fourth activity, analyzing the sub-population data, significantly changed as a result of a much lower number of completed surveys compared to past years as described in sub-section 4 below.

1. Organizing the Count and Subpopulation Survey
Organizing the count consisted of the following four activities: a) the county was divided into organizational regions; b) the organizational regions were divided into planning communities; c) the planning communities were divided into implementation areas; and d) the implementation areas were divided into count zones.
a. County was Divided into Organizational Regions
The County was divided into the following organizational regions:
 West Valley which consisted of the area west of the City of San Bernardino including the cities of Chino, Chino Hills, Colton, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto, Upland, and the surrounding unincorporated areas.  East Valley which consisted of the City of San Bernardino and all areas south and east including the cities of Grand Terrace, Highland, Loma Linda, Redlands, Twenty-nine Palms, Yucaipa, Yucca Valley, and the surrounding unincorporated communities along with the San Bernardino Mountain communities.
 High Desert which consisted of the area north of the San Bernardino Mountains including the cities of Adelanto, Apple Valley, Barstow, Hesperia, Needles, Victorville and the surrounding unincorporated communities.
b. Organizational Regions were Divided into Planning Communities Each of the three Organizational Regions was divided into 20 planning communities of incorporated cities and/or unincorporated jurisdictions to plan and implement the activities below. The County consists of 24 incorporated cities and over three dozen unincorporated communities. However, not all of these cities and counties were included in the 20 planning communities because they were determined by key persons as not having any homeless persons

26 who live, congregate, or receive services. Table below lists the incorporated cities and unincorporated communities within each of the 20 planning communities. # Community

2 Big Bear Region City of Big Bear Lake and the unincorporated communities of Big Bear City, Crestline, Lake Arrowhead, and Running Springs. 3 Chino City of Chino
4 Chino Hills City of Chino Hills
5 Colton City of Colton
6 Fontana City of Fontana and the unincorporated communities of Bloomington and Lytle Creek.
7 Grand Terrace City of Grand Terrace
8 High Desert Cities of Adelanto, Apple Valley, Hesperia, Victorville, and the unincorporated communities of Lucerne Valley, Mountain View Acres, Oak Hills, Phelan, Pinon Hills, Silver Lake, Spring Valley Lake, and Wrightwood.
9 Highland City of Highland
10 Loma Linda City of Loma Linda
11 Montclair City of Montclair
12 Morongo Basin Cities of Twentynine Palms and Yucca Valley and the unincorporated communities of Homestead Valley, Joshua Tree, and Morongo Valley.
13 Needles City of Needles and the unincorporated communities of Big River and Bluewater.
14 Ontario City of Ontario
15 Rancho Cucamonga City of Rancho Cucamonga
16 Redlands City of Redlands and the unincorporated community of Mentone. 17 Rialto City of Rialto
18 San Bernardino City of San Bernardino and the unincorporated community of Muscoy.
19 Upland City of Upland and the unincorporated community of San Antonio Heights.
20 Yucaipa City of Yucaipa and the unincorporated community of Oak Glen.

27 c. Planning Communities were Divided into Implementation Areas Each of the Planning Communities was divided into Implementation Areas, which were designated as Red, Yellow, or Green Areas according to the definitions below.  Red Areas were defined as implementation areas where there are no homeless persons as determined by local community representatives and stakeholders; Red areas included those areas that are either remote and/or uninhabitable, which were primarily small rural communities that are spread throughout the desert and mountain regions of the county.
 Yellow Areas were defined as implementation areas where only professional outreach workers might go. These areas may prove too difficult to cover and/or unsafe for volunteer counters, such as community representatives or stakeholders, in their effort to count and survey homeless persons. Immediately prior to, or immediately after the count, local professional representatives involved in the homeless count such as law enforcement or street outreach workers verified if homeless persons lived in these areas and determined the number of homeless persons who were included in the count;  Green Areas were defined as implementation areas where homeless persons can be found as determined by local community representatives.

All of the incorporated cities in the county, along with significant areas within their surrounding unincorporated territory, were identified by local key person teams as Green Areas. d. Implementation Areas were Divided into Count Zones
Implementation Areas that were designated as Green Areas were divided into Count Zones.

Teams of Counters were deployed to designated count zones within each of the Green Areas.

Teams of Counters were not deployed to Yellow or Red Areas.

2. Coordinating the Count and Subpopulation Survey
Coordinating the count and subpopulation survey included implementing the following activities in each local Planning Community: 1) establishing a key-persons’ team; 2) distinguishing areas within the planning community where homeless people live; 3) identifying places where homeless people live within the identified areas; 4) identifying places where homeless people receive social services; 5) raising public awareness and community involvement; and Implementing the Count and Subpopulation Survey.

28 a. Establishing a Community Key-Persons’ Team
A Community Key Person Team was established for each planning community and consisted of representatives from public and private organizations who were knowledgeable about homelessness and where homeless persons live. Such key persons included representation from business, civic, educational, faith-based, law enforcement, local government, neighborhood, and nonprofit organizations. Homeless and persons with lived experience were also encouraged to join.
b. Distinguishing Implementation Areas within the Planning Community Each Community Key-Persons’ Team distinguished implementation areas within their planning community where homeless people could be found. Such areas included a quadrant or section of a city or unincorporated area or an entire neighborhood. Those sections of the planning community where homeless persons could be found were designated as Green Areas.

Conversely, those sections where homeless persons are known not to live or spend time were designated Red Areas.
c. Identifying Verifiable Places where Homeless People Live/Congregate Each Community Key Person Team also identified specific locations where homeless people live and/or congregate within their designated Green Areas. Such places included abandoned buildings, commercial areas, parks, sidewalks, vacant lots and vehicles. Known encampments were also specifically identified within Green Areas. Other places included a whole neighborhood or a specific length of a street. Such information remains confidential. d. Identifying Places where Homeless People Receive Social Services Each Community Key Person Team also identified non-residential locations and/or programs where homeless people go to receive social services and other forms of assistance. Programs included locations that distributed packaged food and/or clothing, serve meals, and provide shower or laundry services, including those operated by faith-based organizations. Other program sites included those that were known to provide domestic violence, health care, mental health care, substance abuse, transportation, and veteran services for homeless persons. e. Raising Public Awareness and Community Involvement
The primary purpose of raising public awareness and community involvement was to recruit volunteers to help implement the count in each planning community. Volunteers were recruited both locally and countywide from a wide-range of sources including city and county employees, homeless service providers, other social service agencies, non-profit organizations, faith-based institutions, local businesses, civic organizations, educational institutions, currently and formerly homeless individuals and other interested community stakeholders.

29 Flyers and other materials were developed for distribution at community meetings and forums, media outlets and various public facilities, service locations, churches, college campuses, and other public locations. A project website was established with general project information and volunteer outreach materials. Volunteer registration was also promoted through the web site during the months leading up to the day of the count.

Community involvement included creating teams of volunteers to count homeless persons in designated Green zones. Teams included persons who were involved in community service or interested in community service. Teams also included persons who had considerable exposure as well as little exposure to homelessness.

3. Implementing the Count and Subpopulation Survey
After a pilot program was conducted in the Morongo Basin in 2018, the decision was made to transition from a paper survey to a digital survey County-wide in 2019 using Esri’s ArcGIS software platform. The 2019 and 2020 Homeless Point-in-Time Count was a configuration of Survey 123 for ArcGIS and Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS that was used by the County’s Office of Homeless Services in partnership with the Information Services Department to conduct the 2020 homeless count and survey.

The Homeless Point-in-Time Count solution included the following applications:
 Homeless count survey, which included nearly 30 questions to meet HUD requirements concerning the collection of data for designated subpopulations and to meet local requests for additional information about the homeless population;  Homeless count dashboard, which was used to monitor results of a Point-in-Time Count in real time;
 Homeless count results application that provided for instant viewing of data and tables that detailed point-in-time results.

Rather than fill out surveys using a pen, paper, and clipboard, volunteers instead used Suvey123 for ArcGIS. The digital survey form was designed to simplify the surveyor’s experience; only relevant questions were displayed based on the answers already entered, eliminating the need for surveyors to devote time and effort to determine which questions to ask, and resulting in a simpler linear surveying experience.

Additional logic was built into the form to perform calculations behind-the-scenes. For example, the form combined the answers from a subset of questions to determine whether the respondent met HUD’s definition of chronically homeless, and calculated the result instantly as the survey

30 was completed. Extensive testing was conducted to ensure the various combinations of factors all successfully calculated to a correct result. These calculations allowed for real-time monitoring of such metrics as the count was taking place using an Operations Dashboard, and ultimately eliminated the need for them to be calculated after the count was completed.

An added benefit of using digital surveys was the capture of location information. When a survey was conducted, the GPS location of the surveyor’s mobile device was captured, providing a geographic location of where the survey took place, and opening up opportunities for mapping and analyses not possible in previous years. (For safety and privacy reasons, location information was not captured for surveys of sheltered homeless persons.) Upon completion of the count, the data were examined and scrubbed to remove any invalid records, such as practice surveys submitted before the official start of the count. Steps were also taken to ensure that duplicate records – instances where the same individual was surveyed more than once in the same location – were identified and removed.

Two Significant Changes
There were two significant changes that took place again this year when compared to past years as a result of the activities noted above. One was targeted mapping and the other was closer monitoring of undercounted areas.

Targeted mapping
The use of the ESRI application provided for the instant pinpoint mapping of homeless individuals on the day of the count, which was a methodological change from previous years in which mapping of homeless concentrations was pre-determined. This contributed to the assigned areas being more thoroughly canvassed than in past years and to potentially counting more homeless individuals.

Locations of homeless persons and encampments from the HOPE Team Homeless Contact app were layered on the printout maps given to teams of volunteer counters, which was also done last year.

Maps of zones and specific areas within jurisdictions were provided again this year to teams of volunteer counters and included the known locations provided by key persons within the jurisdictions. Maps included known locations from the HOPE Team Homeless Contact app. These locations are the result of professional HOPE Team members mapping homeless persons that they assist throughout the year.

31 The zone maps given to teams of volunteers this year were created by:
 creating a map of a jurisdiction;
 marking the known locations of homeless persons provided by key persons within the jurisdiction;
 marking the known locations from the HOPE Team Homeless Contact app.

The known locations from the HOPE Team Homeless Contact app were pinpoint locations. For example, a pinpoint could be behind a building or between buildings. This helped guide teams of volunteers to more exact locations within their zone this year.

Closer monitoring of undercounted areas
As previously noted, the ESRI Survey 123 app provided the ability for a homeless count dashboard, which was used to monitor results of the Point-in-Time Count in real-time. This provided instant viewing of data points on the dash board in the command center during the time of the count. Each data point represented a household counted.

If data points did not appear in areas where homeless persons were known to live during the day of the count, volunteers were sent to the area to count and persons counted were included in the total count if they were not previously counted.

If data points did not appear in areas where homeless persons were known to live, professional outreach workers were sent there the next day to these areas and persons counted were included in the total count if they were not counted the day before. HUD allows for next day counting based upon two conditions: 1) any homeless persons encountered have to be asked if they were homeless on the day of the count and 2) a unique identifier has to be created for that person.

A unique identifier was created for all persons counted on the day of the count and the day after the count. If the same unique identifier appeared twice it was assumed that it was the same person; also, a person was only included once in the total count if the person stated “yes” when asked “if they were homeless on the day of the count,” which was Thursday, January 23rd.

4. Analyzing the subpopulation data
Only adults and unaccompanied teenage children who are counted are surveyed, accompanied children in families were not. Of the 2,369 adults and unaccompanied teenage children counted, 1,517 or 66.3% were surveyed and 844 or 33.7% were observed. Counters were instructed that if they believed there was a safety issue, or if a person was sleeping, or if a person refused to be

32 interviewed, they were to record “no” in the digital survey form for question 4, which was “Are you able to interview this person” and then to give the best guess-estimate for questions 5 – 8, which asked for gender, age, ethnicity, and race.

The current observation rates of 36.9% in 2019 and 33.7% in 2020 are much higher than in past years, which had observation rates of 20% or lower. As a result, representatives of the San Bernardino Continuum of Care conferred with HUD regarding the much higher observation rate for this year and how best to determine the number of the HUD required subpopulations that CoCs have to report to HUD. HUD recommended a stratified extrapolation, which was done.

NOTE: Stratified extrapolation was only used to determine subpopulations and not the total number of unsheltered persons, which was solely based on the number of adults surveyed and observed (2,361).

Stratified extrapolation focused on determining the numbers within the 844 observed adults that were chronically homeless, veterans, had mental illness, had a substance use disorder, and had HIV/AIDS. HUD requires CoCs to submit this subpopulation information and Congress requires HUD to use this information to help provide nationwide estimates of homelessness in the Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR), which is a report that HUD is required to submit to Congress.

Following HUD’s instructions, stratified extrapolation involved:
 determining how many of the 2,361 adults were surveyed in each city and unincorporated area;
 calculating the percent of surveyed adults for each of the subpopulations based on their answers for each city and unincorporated area;
 applying the same percent of surveyed adults for each of the subpopulations to the 844 observed adults after determining how many of the 844 adults were observed in each city and unincorporated area.

For example, if in a given city, 30% of the adults surveyed were chronically homeless, the same percentage was applied to the adults observed in the given city. In other words, if 100 persons were counted as unsheltered in the given city and 60% were surveyed and 40 percent were observed, 30% of the 60% would equal 18 chronically homeless adults and 30% of the 40% would equal 12 chronically homeless persons for a total of 30 chronically homeless adults, which is 30% of the 100 adults who were either surveyed or observed.

33 IV.Unsheltered Subpopulation Summaries
This section provides a breakdown of each of the unsheltered subpopulations listed below. The analysis only includes the responses of those persons surveyed within each subpopulation.

Others were only observed because volunteer counters felt unsafe or a homeless person was sleeping. Only adults are included in the responses because most of the survey questions asked for information that do not relate to children.

Unsheltered subpopulations include:
 Veterans;
 Chronically homeless;
 Seniors age 62+; and
 Youth ages 18 – 24.

34 Veterans
127 of the total of 185 veterans were surveyed.

Dear CoC Partners,
In mid-November 2020, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a document to all Continuums of Cares (CoCs) providing guidance for the 2021 Point-In-Time Count (PITC) during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

As part of the guidance, HUD included an exception allowance to permit CoCs to request an exception to some or all of the unsheltered PITC requirements. On December 7, 2020, the Office of Homeless Services (OHS) was directed by the Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH) Chair and Vice-Chair, along with County of San Bernardino leadership to request an exception from HUD to not conduct a 2021 unsheltered PITC for several reasons, which included:
• Health and Safety: Local government and community leaders have expressed a high degree of concern about the health and safety of employees, volunteers, and those experiencing homelessness in terms of exposure to COVID19. • COVID-19 Surge: The region is currently experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases, resulting in reduced capacity in our hospitals and intensive care units.
• Unsheltered Count Accuracy: There is a concern we do not have the necessary resources to complete an unsheltered count.

A request for an exception was submitted on December 10, 2020, to Mr. William Snow, Senior Program Specialist with the HUD Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs per HUD guidance. After reviewing the request, HUD granted the San Bernardino County CoC the exception to conducting any unsheltered PITC in 2021.

The OHS is still committed to looking at our other data sources to help determine the extent and needs of our local unsheltered population for future planning and policy purposes. Data sources will include the Homeless Management Information System, Coordinated Entry System, Sheriff’s Homeless Outreach and Proactive Enforcement Team outreach data, and current by-name lists.

Thank you for all your hard work and commitment to serve people experiencing homelessness in your community. For additional assistance or further information, please contact Amy Edwards at (909) 501-0610 or [email protected].

Respectfully,
Maria Razo, Chair Jessica Alexander, Vice-Chair Tom Hernandez, Chief

6 Background Information
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as part of its requirements for local Continuums of Care (CoCs) to continue to receive continuum of care funding for homeless persons, requires CoCs to conduct “one-day point-in-time” sheltered and unsheltered homeless counts during the last 10 days of January. The CA-609 San Bernardino City and County CoC is one of approximately 400 jurisdictions nationwide that submit an annual application to HUD for continuum of care funding.

HUD requires CoCs to conduct a sheltered count every year and an unsheltered count every other year. The San Bernardino City and County CoC conducts an annual unsheltered count as do more than half of California’s 44 CoCs.

In 2022, HUD permitted CoCs to request an exception to conduct a homeless count during the last 10 days of February because of pandemic related reasons. The CA-609 San Bernardino City and County CoC requested and received an exception and conducted the homeless count on February 24, 2022.

When was the Count conducted?
The unsheltered homeless count was conducted on Thursday, February 24, 2022, and began at 6 a.m. The sheltered count included residents of shelters and transitional housing programs throughout the county who slept in these facilities during the night of February 23 through the early morning of February 24.

HUD allows counting in hard-to-reach and remote places to continue up to seven days after the count as long as persons are asked if they were homeless on the day of the count and a unique identifier is used to prevent duplication. A limited amount of counting occurred during the seven days following the count in a few hard-to-reach and remote places and places were counting did not take place on February 24 because of pandemic related reasons.

Who was counted?
Per HUD’s instructions, a person was considered homeless, and thus counted, only when they fell within the HUD-based definition by residing in one of the places described below:
 In places not meant for human habitation, such as cars, parks, sidewalks, and abandoned buildings;
 In an emergency shelter; and
 In transitional housing for homeless persons.

7 Each person who was counted was also asked a series of survey questions that ensured that all HUD required subpopulation data was collected that included persons with  HIV/AIDS;
 Serious mental illness; and
 Substance use disorders.

Subpopulations also included
 Families
 Veterans; and
 Youth age 18 – 24.

Several questions to gather local desired information were also asked and included  In what city did you first become homeless?
 In what city are you living now?
 Did you become homeless for the first time during the past 12 months?  Have you been released from prison or jail during the last 12 months?  How much is your monthly income?
Who was not counted?
Per HUD’s instructions, a person was not considered homeless if the person resided in one of the following places noted below:
 Medical facilities, such as hospitals, psychiatric facilities, and nursing homes;  Jails, prisons, or juvenile detention facilities;
 Chemical dependency facilities, such as substance abuse treatment facilities and detox centers;
 Foster care homes or foster care group homes.

Also, per HUD’s instructions, children identified by McKinney-Vento Homeless Coordinators at schools as homeless should not be counted. Children may be included in the count if they live in an emergency shelter or transitional housing program, or if they are unsheltered.

Lastly, HUD does not consider persons who are “doubled up,” or persons who are “near homelessness” to be homeless but considers them to be at risk of becoming homeless. Thus, such persons were not included in the homeless count.

The County of San Bernardino, like many other counties, has a substantial number of households that are at risk of becoming homeless. The Census Bureau noted that 14 percent or approximately 100,000 households (consisting of approximately 300,000 residents) in San

8 Bernardino County were living at or below the poverty level as reported in the 2020 American Community Survey.

Many of these persons can become homeless because of social structural issues such as increases in rent, loss of jobs, and rising health care costs. In addition, personal experiences such as domestic violence, physical disabilities, mental illness, and substance abuse can cause members of a low-income household or an entire household to become homeless. Often, one or more of these experiences factor into a household’s homelessness experience.

Who carried out the Count?
The homeless count and subpopulation survey was a joint effort of the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership, the San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services, and the Institute for Urban Initiatives. Approximately 800 community volunteers were recruited to implement the count and subpopulation survey. As noted in the Acknowledgements section of this report, there were nearly 30 agencies that contributed staff time and office space for training and deployment of counters and there were 24 law enforcement agencies that provided their time, knowledge, and expertise concerning locations of homeless persons. Also, there were nearly 30 additional agencies that helped with the planning process, including the San Bernardino County Innovation and Technology Department, which created maps to guide counters.

The San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP) was formed to provide a more focused approach to issues of homelessness within San Bernardino County. Its primary purpose is to develop a countywide public and private partnership and to coordinate services and resources to end homelessness in San Bernardino County. The partnership consists of community and faith-based organizations, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, private industry, and federal, state, and local governments. SBCHP was developed to promote a strong collaboration between agencies to direct the planning, development, and implementation of the County’s 10-year Strategy to end chronic homelessness. The partnership provides leadership in creating a comprehensive countywide network of service delivery to homeless and nearhomeless families and individuals through facilitating better communication, planning, coordination, and cooperation among all entities that provide services and/or resources to relieve homelessness.

The San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services (OHS) serves as a “clearinghouse” of homeless issues for all County departments. Any homeless issues encountered by County staff can be referred to this office for resolution. OHS staff plays a vital role in the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership as the administrative support unit to the organization. OHS ensures that the vision, mission and goals of the SBCHP are carried into effect.

9 The Institute for Urban Initiatives consists of several community-based and faith-based institutes that respond to the economic, housing, and social needs of neighborhoods, cities, and counties from local community, regional, national, international, and faith-based perspectives.

Urban Initiatives has completed over 50 assessments for local government and private organizations throughout Southern California that have focused on affordable housing, business development and education for micro-businesses, fair housing, homelessness, migrant farming, and street vending.

10 Methodology
Unsheltered Count and Survey
To conduct the Count, Esri’s ArcGIS software platform was used. The 2022 Homeless Point-inTime Count was a configuration of Survey 123 for ArcGIS and Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS that was used by the County’s Office of Homeless Services in partnership with the Innovation and Technology Department to conduct the 2022 homeless count and survey.

The Homeless Point-in-Time Count efforts included the following applications:
 Homeless count survey, which included nearly 30 questions to meet HUD requirements concerning the collection of data for designated subpopulations and to meet local requests for additional information about the homeless population;  Homeless count dashboard, which was used to monitor results of the point-in-time count in real time; and
 Homeless count results application that provided for instant viewing of data and tables that detailed point-in-time results.

A digital survey form was designed to simplify the surveyor’s experience; only relevant questions were displayed based on the answers already entered, eliminating the need for surveyors to devote time and effort to determine which questions to ask, and resulting in a simpler linear surveying experience.

Additional logic was built into the form to perform calculations behind-the-scenes. For example, the form combined the answers from a subset of questions to determine whether the respondent met HUD’s definition of chronically homeless and calculated the result instantly as the survey was completed. Extensive testing was conducted to ensure the various combinations of factors all successfully calculated to a correct result. These calculations allowed for real-time monitoring of such metrics as the count was taking place using an Operations Dashboard, and ultimately eliminated the need for them to be calculated after the count was completed.

An added benefit of using digital surveys was the capture of location information. When a survey was conducted, the global positing system (GPS) location of the surveyor’s mobile device was captured, providing the geographic location of where the survey took place, and opening up opportunities for mapping and analyses not possible in previous years. (For safety and privacy reasons, location information was not captured for surveys of sheltered homeless persons.) Upon completion of the count, the data were examined and scrubbed to remove any invalid records, such as practice surveys submitted before the official start of the count. Steps were also taken to ensure that duplicate records – instances where the same individual was surveyed more than once in the same location – were identified and removed.

11 Closer monitoring of undercounted areas
As previously noted, the ESRI Survey 123 app provided the ability for a homeless count dashboard, which was used to monitor results of the Point-in-Time Count in real-time. This provided instant viewing of data points on the dashboard in the command center during the time of the count. Each data point represented a household counted.

If data points did not appear in areas where homeless persons were known to live during the day of the count, volunteers were sent to the area to count, and persons counted were included in the total count if they were not previously counted.

If data points did not appear in areas where homeless persons were known to live, professional outreach workers were sent to those areas the next day and persons were included in the total count if they were not counted the day before. HUD allows for next day counting based upon two conditions: 1) any homeless persons encountered be asked if they were homeless on the day of the count and 2) a unique identifier has to be created for that person.

A unique identifier was created for all persons counted on the day of the count and the day after the count. If the same unique identifier appeared twice, it was assumed that it was the same person; also, a person was only included once in the total count if the person stated “yes” when asked “if they were homeless on the day of the count,” which was Thursday, February 24th.

Analyzing the subpopulation data
Only adults and unaccompanied teenage children who are counted are surveyed, accompanied children in families were not. Of the 2,373 adults counted, 1,377 or 58% were surveyed and 966 or 42% were observed. Counters were instructed that if they believed there was a safety issue, or if a person was sleeping, or if a person refused to be interviewed, they were to record “no” in the digital survey form for question 4, which was “Are you able to interview this person” and then to give the best guess-estimate for questions 5 – 8, which asked for gender, age, ethnicity, and race.

Sheltered
HUD encourages the use of Homeless Management Information Services (HMIS) data to generate sheltered counts and subpopulation data for programs with 100% of beds participating in HMIS.

Therefore, HMIS was used to gather the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation.

A data collection instrument was used to collect the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation for non-participating HMIS programs and for HMIS participating agencies whose HMIS data is incomplete and/or incorrect. The same questions used to collect subpopulation data through HMIS were used for the data collection instrument. Thus, sheltered count data for all sheltered programs was gathered either through a data collection sheet or HMIS.

12 Key Findings

1. The number of adults and children counted as homeless increase by approximately 7% when the 2022 point-in-time homeless count of 3,333 is compared to the 2020 point-intime homeless count of 3,125.

2. The number of adults and children counted as unsheltered in 2022 was nearly identical-- 2,389 in 2022 and 2,390 in 2020.

3. The number of adults and children counted as sheltered increased by 28% when the 2022 sheltered count of 944 is compared to the 2020 sheltered count of 735.

4. More than three-fourths (79.2%) or 2,640 of the 3,333 homeless adults and children were counted within seven cities that include Barstow, Colton, Fontana, Ontario, Redlands, San Bernardino, and Victorville. These seven cities accounted for 1,822 or more than three-fourths (76.2%) of the total unsheltered population of 2,389 and 818 or

86.6% of the 944 persons counted in shelters and transitional housing.

Nearly three-fourths (72.6%) or 2,270 of the 3,125 homeless adults and children counted in 2020 were counted within eight cities that include Barstow, Colton, Fontana, Ontario, Redlands, Rialto, San Bernardino, and Victorville. These eight cities accounted for threefourths (74.5%) of the total unsheltered population as well as nearly three-fourths (70.2%) of persons counted in shelters and transitional housing including a safe haven program.

5. Nearly half (47%) of unsheltered adults who agreed to be surveyed stated that the city in which they first became homeless was San Bernardino (47%) and Victorville (6%).

6. More than one-fourth (27%) of adults and children counted as homeless in 2022 became homeless for the first time during the 12 months prior to the homeless count

7. Nearly one-fourth (22%) of adults stated “yes” when asked if they were released from prison or jail during the past 12 months, which was the case during the 2020 unsheltered homeless count (23%) and the 2019 homeless count (22%).

8. Nearly half (43.5%) of unsheltered adults were chronically homeless, which is defined as being homeless for one year or more and having a disabling condition such as mental illness, chronic health condition, and a physical disability.

13 Executive Summary
There were 3,333 persons who were counted as homeless. The previous point-in-time homeless count and subpopulation survey was completed in 2020 when 3,125 persons were counted. A comparison of the last two counts reveals that
 208 more persons were counted in 2022, which represents an increase of 6.6%;  1 less person was counted as unsheltered in 2022 when compared to the unsheltered count in 2020; and
 209 more persons were counted as sheltered in 2022 when compared to the sheltered count in 2020, which represents an increase of 28.4%.

Regarding sheltered homelessness, HUD states that
 CoCs must count all individuals or families who meet the criteria in paragraph (1)(ii) of the homeless definition in 24 CFR 578.3. This includes individuals and families “living in a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter designated to provide temporary living arrangements (including congregate shelters, transitional housing, and hotels and motels paid for by charitable organizations or by federal, state, or local government programs for low-income individuals)” on the night designated for the count. This includes individuals residing in Safe Haven projects.

Regarding unsheltered homelessness, HUD states that
 CoCs must count all individuals or families who meet the criteria in paragraph (1)(i) of the homeless definition in 24 CFR 578.3. This includes individuals and families “with a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings, including a car, park, abandoned building, bus or train station, airport, or camping ground” on the night designated for the count. Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) assisted households who are still unsheltered on the night of the count (e.g., staying in an encampment and being assisted by an RRH project to obtain housing) must be included as part of the unsheltered count.

14 The following chart shows that the number of persons counted as unsheltered and sheltered in 2016 was 1,887 and 3,333 in 2022, which represents an increase of 1,446 persons or 77%.

18 Unsheltered Homelessness
Of the 3,333 persons counted in 2022, 2,389 or nearly three-fourths (71.7%) were unsheltered, which is defined by HUD as
“An individual or family who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, meaning: (i) An individual or family with a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.”
HUD also requires that the total number of unsheltered and sheltered adults be broken down by various subpopulations including age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Of the 2,389 unsheltered persons counted, 2,373 were adults and 16 were children under age 18 in families.

Gender
The following table provides a breakdown by gender for adults and children under age 18 in families. There were no unaccompanied youth under age 18. HUD requires the summary to consist of men, women, transgender, gender non-conforming (i.e., not exclusively male or female), and questioning.

More than three-fourths (78.7%) of adults were male and more than half (56.3%) of children were female.

24 Sheltered Homelessness
Of the 3,333 persons counted in 2022, 944 persons or 28.32% were sheltered. Among the 944 sheltered persons, 611 were counted in shelters or received non-congregated shelter through a motel voucher and 333 were counted in transitional housing programs. HUD states that persons living in shelters or transitional housing programs (including safe haven programs) on the night of the count must be included in the homeless count and subpopulation survey.

As required by HUD, the sheltered count included the number of persons and households sleeping in emergency shelters (including seasonal shelters) and transitional housing programs that were listed on the Housing Inventory Chart (HIC). In addition, any persons staying in hotels or motels as a result of receiving a voucher from a social service agency were included in the sheltered count per HUD’s instructions if the voucher program was listed on the HIC.

HUD also requires that the total number of sheltered persons be broken down by pre-designated subpopulations. The total number of sheltered persons by the pre-designated subpopulations for 2022 are listed in the table below.

The Homeless Inventory Count (HIC) was submitted by OHS staff to HUD on April 28, 2022. Prior to the homeless count, the HIC was specifically undated to include any new programs or exclude any programs no longer operational by OHS staff and Key Person Task Force members. A few changes were made to the HIC prior to the count.

HUD encourages the use of HMIS data to generate sheltered counts and subpopulation data for programs with 100% of beds participating in HMIS. Therefore, HMIS was used to gather the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation. A data collection instrument was used to collect the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation for non-participating HMIS programs and for HMIS participating agencies that do not have their HMIS data complete and correct. The same questions used to collect subpopulation data through HMIS were used for the data collection instrument. Thus, sheltered count data for all sheltered programs was gathered either through a data collection sheet or HMIS.

The following table provides a breakdown of the sheltered population (944 adults and children) by the subpopulations required by HUD.

6 Executive Summary
There were 4,195 adults and children who were counted as homeless during the 2023 Point-inTime Count and Survey. The previous point-in-time homeless count and survey was completed in 2022 during which 3,333 persons were counted. A comparison of last two counts reveals that • 862 more persons were counted in 2023, which represents an increase of 25.9%; • 587 more persons were counted as unsheltered in 2023 when compared to the unsheltered count in 2022, which represents an increase of 24.6%; and • 275 more persons were counted as sheltered in 2023 when compared to the sheltered count in 2022, which represents an increase of 29.1%.

Regarding sheltered homelessness, HUD states that
• CoCs must count all individuals or families who meet the criteria in paragraph (1)(ii) of the homeless definition in 24 CFR 578.3. This includes individuals and families “living in a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter designated to provide temporary living arrangements (including congregate shelters, transitional housing, and hotels and motels paid for by charitable organizations or by federal, state, or local government programs for low-income individuals)” on the night designated for the count. This includes individuals residing in Safe Haven projects.

Regarding unsheltered homelessness, HUD states that
• CoCs must count all individuals or families who meet the criteria in paragraph (1)(i) of the homeless definition in 24 CFR 578.3. This includes individuals and families “with a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings, including a car, park, abandoned building, bus or train station, airport, or camping ground” on the night designated for the count. Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) assisted households who are

7 still unsheltered on the night of the count (e.g., staying in an encampment and being assisted by an RRH project to obtain housing) must be included as part of the unsheltered count.

The following chart shows that the number of persons counted as unsheltered and sheltered in 2018 was 2,118 and 4,195 in 2023, which represents an increase of 2,077 persons or 98.1%.

11 Background Information
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), as part of its requirements for local Continuums of Care (CoCs) to continue to receive continuum of care funding for homeless persons, requires CoCs to conduct “one-day point-in-time” sheltered and unsheltered homeless counts during the last 10 days of January. The CA-609 San Bernardino City and County CoC is one of nearly 400 jurisdictions nationwide that submit an annual application to HUD for continuum of care funding.

HUD requires CoCs to conduct a sheltered count every year and an unsheltered count every other year. The San Bernardino City and County CoC conducts an annual unsheltered count as do more than half of California’s 44 CoCs.

When was the count conducted?
The unsheltered homeless count was conducted on Thursday, January 26, 2023, and began at 6 a.m. The sheltered count included residents of shelters and transitional housing programs throughout the county who slept in these facilities during the night of January 25 through the early morning of January 26.

HUD allows counting in hard-to-reach and remote places to continue up to seven days after the count as long as persons are asked if they were homeless on the day of the count and a unique identifier is used to prevent duplication. A limited amount of counting occurred during the seven days following the count in a few hard-to-reach and remote places and other places where counting did not take place because of various reasons.

Who was counted?
Per HUD’s instructions, a person was considered homeless, and thus counted, only when they fell within the HUD-based definition by residing in one of the places described below:
• In places not meant for human habita�on, such as cars, parks, sidewalks, and abandoned buildings;
• In an emergency shelter; and
• In transi�onal housing for homeless persons.

Each person who was counted was also asked a series of survey questions that ensured that all HUD required subpopulation data was collected that included adults with:
• HIV/AIDS;
• Serious mental illness; and

12 • Substance use disorders.

Subpopulations also included:
• Families;
• Chronically homeless families and individuals;
• Veterans; and
• Youth age 18 – 24.

Several questions to gather local desired information were also asked and included:
• In what city did you first become homeless?
• In what city are you living now?
• Did you become homeless for the first �me during the past 12 months? • Have you been released from prison or jail during the last 12 months? • How much is your monthly income?
Who was not counted?
Per HUD’s instructions, a person was not considered homeless if the person resided in one of the following places noted below:
• Medical facili�es, such as hospitals, psychiatric facili�es, and nursing homes; • Jails, prisons, or juvenile deten�on facili�es;
• Chemical dependency facili�es, such as substance use treatment facili�es and detox centers;
• Foster care homes or foster care group homes.

Also, per HUD’s instructions, children identified by McKinney-Vento Homeless Coordinators at schools as homeless should not be counted. Children may be included in the count if they live in an emergency shelter or transitional housing program, or if they are unsheltered.

Lastly, HUD does not consider persons who are “doubled up,” or persons who are “near homelessness” to be homeless but considers them to be at risk of becoming homeless. Thus, such persons were not included in the homeless count.

San Bernardino County, like many other counties, has a substantial number of households that are at risk of becoming homeless. The Census Bureau noted that 13.2 percent or approximately 110,000 households (consisting of approximately 333,000 residents) in the county were living at or below the poverty level as reported in the 2022 American Community Survey.

Many of these persons can become homeless because of social structural issues such as increases in rent, loss of jobs, and rising health care costs. In addition, personal experiences such as

13 domestic violence, physical disabilities, mental illness, and substance abuse can cause members of a low-income household or an entire household to become homeless. Often, one or more of these causes factor into a household’s homelessness experience.

Who carried out the count?
The homeless count and subpopulation survey was a joint effort of the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership, the San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services, and the Institute for Urban Initiatives. More than 800 community volunteers were recruited to execute the count and subpopulation survey. As noted in the Acknowledgements section of this report, there were 38 agencies, plus 24 cities and towns, that contributed staff time and office space for the training and deployment of counters and there were 24 law enforcement agencies that provided their time, knowledge, and expertise regarding locations of homeless persons. Also, there were nearly 16 agencies and county departments that helped with the planning process, including the San Bernardino County Innovation and Technology Department (ITD), which created maps to guide counters.

The San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership (SBCHP) was formed to provide a more focused approach to issues of homelessness within San Bernardino County. Its primary purpose is to develop a countywide public and private partnership and to coordinate services and resources to reduce homelessness in San Bernardino County. The partnership consists of community and faith-based organizations, educational institutions, non-profit organizations, private industry, and federal, state, and local governments. SBCHP was developed to promote a strong collaboration between agencies to direct the planning, development, and implementation of the county’s strategy to prevent and reduce homelessness. The partnership provides leadership in creating a comprehensive countywide network of service delivery to homeless and near-homeless households by facilitating better communication, planning, coordination, and cooperation among all entities that provide services and/or resources to relieve homelessness.

The San Bernardino County Office of Homeless Services (OHS) serves as a “clearinghouse” of homeless issues for all county departments. Any homeless issues encountered by county staff can be referred to this office for resolution. OHS staff plays a vital role in the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership as the administrative support unit to the organization. OHS ensures that SBCHP’s vision, mission and goals are carried into effect.

The Hub for Urban Initiatives consists of several community- and faith-based institutes that respond to the economic, housing, and social needs of neighborhoods, cities, and counties from local community, regional, national, international, and faith-based perspectives. Urban Initiatives has completed over 100 assessments for local government and private organizations throughout Southern California that have focused on affordable housing, business development and education for micro-businesses, fair housing, homelessness, migrant farming, and street vending.

14 Methodology
Unsheltered Count and Survey
To conduct the count, Esri’s ArcGIS software platform was used. The 2023 Homeless Point-inTime Count was a configuration of Survey 123 for ArcGIS and Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS that was used by the county’s Office of Homeless Services in partnership with the Innovation and Technology Department to conduct the 2023 homeless count and survey.

The Homeless Point-in-Time Count efforts included the following applications:
• Homeless count survey, which included nearly 30 questions to meet HUD requirements concerning the collection of data for designated subpopulations and to meet local requests for additional information about the homeless population; • Homeless count dashboard, which was used to monitor results of the point-in-time count in real time; and
• Homeless count results application that provided for instant viewing of data and tables that detailed point-in-time results.

A digital survey form was designed to simplify the surveyor’s experience; only relevant questions were displayed based on the answers input, eliminating the need for surveyors to devote time and effort to determine which questions to ask, and resulting in a streamlined surveying experience.

Additional logic was built into the form to perform calculations behind-the-scenes. For example, the form combined the answers from a subset of questions to determine whether the respondent met HUD’s definition of chronically homeless and calculated the result instantly as the survey was completed. Extensive testing was conducted to ensure the various combinations of factors were all successfully calculated to a correct result. These calculations allowed for real-time monitoring of such metrics as the count was taking place using an Operations Dashboard, ultimately eliminating the need for the calculations after the count was completed.

An added benefit of using digital surveys was the capture of location information. When a survey was conducted, the global positioning system (GPS) location of the surveyor’s mobile device was captured, providing the geographic location of where the survey took place, and opening up opportunities for mapping and analyses not possible in previous years. (For safety and privacy reasons, location information was not captured for surveys of sheltered homeless persons.) Upon completion of the count, the data were examined and scrubbed to remove any invalid records, such as practice surveys submitted before the official start of the count. Steps were also taken to ensure that duplicate records – instances where the same individual was surveyed more than once in the same location – were identified and removed.

15 Closer monitoring of undercounted areas
As previously noted, the ESRI Survey 123 app provided the ability for a homeless count dashboard, which was used to monitor results of the Point-in-Time Count in real-time. This provided instant viewing of data points on the dashboard in the command center during the time of the count. Each data point represented a household counted.

During the count, if data points did not appear in areas where homeless persons were known to live, volunteers were sent to the area to count, and persons counted were included in the total count if they were not previously counted.

After the count, if data points did not appear in areas where homeless persons were known to live, professional outreach workers were sent to those areas the next day and persons were included in the total count if they were not previously counted. HUD allows for next day counting based upon two conditions: 1) any homeless persons encountered be asked if they were homeless on the day of the count and 2) a unique identifier must be created for that person.

A unique identifier was created for all persons counted on the day of the count and the day after the count. If the same unique identifier appeared twice, it was assumed that it was the same person; also, a person was only included once in the total count if the person stated “yes” when asked “if they were homeless on the day of the count,” which was Thursday, January 26th.

Analyzing the subpopulation data
Only adults and unaccompanied teenage children who are counted are surveyed, accompanied children in families are not. Of the 2,959 adults and unaccompanied children under 18 counted, 1,743 or 59% were surveyed and 1,216 or 41% were observed. Counters were instructed to record “no” in the digital survey form for question 4, “Are you able to interview this person” and to give their best guess-estimate for questions 5 – 8, which asked for gender, age, ethnicity, and race, if they believed there was a safety issue, a persons was sleeping, or a person refused to be interviewed.

Sheltered
HUD encourages the use of Homeless Management Information Services (HMIS) data to generate sheltered counts and subpopulation data for programs with 100% of beds participating in HMIS.

Therefore, HMIS was used to gather the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation.

A data collection instrument was used to collect the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation for non-participating HMIS programs and for HMIS participating agencies whose HMIS data is incomplete and/or incorrect. The same questions used to collect subpopulation data through HMIS were used for the data collection instrument.

16 Unsheltered Homelessness
Of the 4,195 persons counted as homeless in 2023, 2,976 or nearly three-fourths (70.9%) were unsheltered, which is defined by HUD as
“An individual or family who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence, meaning: (i) An individual or family with a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.”
HUD also requires that the total number of unsheltered and sheltered adults be broken down by various subpopulations including age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Of the 2,976 unsheltered persons counted, 2,948 were adults, 11 were unaccompanied children under age 18, and 17 were children under age 18 in families.

HUD requires that the following demographic information be included in the Point-in-Time Count chart submission to HUD: Gender, Ethnicity, Race, and Age. Thus, the following questions were included in the homeless count survey:

What is Your Gender?
The following table provides a breakdown by gender for adults, unaccompanied youth under age 18, and accompanied children under age 18 in families. HUD requires the summary to consist of men, women, transgender, gender non-conforming (i.e., not exclusively male or female), and questioning.

Nearly three-fourths (70.8%) of adults were male and more than one-fourth (28.3%) of adults were female.

More than half (54.5%) of unaccompanied youth under age 18 were male and a little less than half (45.5%) were female.

Nearly half (47.1%) of accompanied children under age 18 in families were male and nearly half (47.1%) were female.

23 Sheltered Homelessness
Of the 4,195 persons counted in 2023, 1,219 persons or 29.1% were sheltered. Among the 1,219 sheltered persons, 772 were counted in shelters or received non-congregate shelter through a motel voucher and 447 were counted in transitional housing programs. HUD states that persons living in shelters and transitional housing programs (including safe haven programs) on the night of the count must be included in the homeless count.

As required by HUD, the sheltered count included the number of persons and households sleeping in emergency shelters (including seasonal shelters) and transitional housing programs that were listed on the Housing Inventory Chart (HIC). In addition, any persons staying in hotels or motels paid for by a social service agency were included in the sheltered count per HUD’s instructions if the voucher program was listed on the Homeless Inventory Count (HIC).

HUD also requires that the total number of sheltered persons be broken down by predesignated subpopulations. The total number of sheltered persons by the pre-designated subpopulations for 2023 are listed in the table on the following page.

The HIC was submitted by OHS staff to HUD by the deadline of April 28, 2023. Prior to the homeless count, the HIC was specifically undated to include any new programs or exclude any programs no longer operational by OHS staff and Key Person Task Force members. A few changes were made to the HIC prior to the count.

HUD encourages the use of HMIS data to generate sheltered counts and subpopulation data for programs with 100% of beds participating in HMIS. Therefore, HMIS was used to gather the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation. A data collection instrument was used to collect the total number of occupied beds and the number of persons for each subpopulation for non-participating HMIS programs, and for HMIS participating agencies that do not have their HMIS data complete and correct. The same questions used to collect subpopulation data through HMIS were used for the data collection instrument. Thus, sheltered count data for all sheltered programs was gathered either through a data collection sheet or HMIS.

The following table provides a breakdown of the sheltered population of 1,219 adults and children by the subpopulations required by HUD.

25 Key Findings

1. The number of adults and children counted as homeless increased by 25.9% when the 2023 point-in-time homeless count of 4,195 is compared to the 2022 point-in-time homeless count of 3,333.

2. The number of adults and children counted as unsheltered increased by 24.6% when the 2023 unsheltered count of 2,976 is compared to the 2022 unsheltered count of 2,389.

3. The number of adults and children counted as sheltered increased by 29.1% when the 2023 sheltered count of 1,219 is compared to the 2022 sheltered count of 944.

4. More than three-fourths (76.9%) or 3,226 of the 4,195 homeless adults and children were counted within seven cities that include Barstow, Colton, Fontana, Ontario, Redlands, San Bernardino, and Victorville.
a. These seven cities accounted for 2,163 or nearly three-fourths (72.7%) of the total unsheltered population of 2,976 and 1,063 or 87.2% of the 1,219 persons counted in shelters and transitional housing.

5. More than one-third (39.9%) of unsheltered adults and children counted as homeless became homeless for the first time during the 12 months prior to the homeless count.

6. Nearly one-third (32.1%) of unsheltered adults stated “City of San Bernardino” when asked in what city did you first become homeless.

7. Nearly half (44.1%) of unsheltered adults were chronically homeless, which is defined as being homeless for one year or more and having a disabling condition such as mental illness, chronic health condition, and a physical disability.

8. Nearly one-fourth (22.9%) of unsheltered adults answered “yes” when asked if they had been incarcerated during the past 12 months.

9. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of unsheltered adults answered “no income” when asked to state their monthly income.

10. More than three-fourths (77%) of unsheltered adults answered either “no income” (63%) or “less than $500” (14%) when asked to state their monthly income.
