Overall, the 2023 Point-in-Time Count found no less than 10,264 individuals experiencing homelessness across our region. This number includes 5,171 unsheltered San Diegans with 5,093 individuals in shelters and transitional housing. Report details:
A statement from the task force reminds readers of the report that the challenge of finding every unsheltered person in a car, encampment or under a bridge, is impossible.
Without those additional CalTrans sites added to the count, the region saw a 14% increase compared to the same areas covered last year. Of those surveyed, 80% said they began experiencing homelessness in San Diego County. RTFH's monthly reports found that for every 10 San Diegans who are housed, 13 San Diegans experience homelessness for the first time. Those reports also show the region has not seen a month since March 2022 where more San Diegans have been housed compared to those experiencing homelessness the first time.
The region's homeless response system interacted with more than 41,000 people in San Diego County from October 2021 to September 2022, compared to 38,000 the previous year. "Also important is that the percentages of people experiencing sheltered and unsheltered homelessness remain roughly the same as in 2022, meaning that added shelter capacity -- especially in the city of San Diego -- is helping to provide more people with a safe place," a statement from the RTFH reads.
