unsheltered

So far, the county is on track to meet one its major goals for Measure A, which is for unsheltered homelessness to fall 30% from 2024 to 2030.

The latest data from the Community Partnership, an organisation that works to reduce homelessness, shows about 800 people are unsheltered, while about 4,300 others have some sort of temporary housing.

Homelessness in both the city and county has dropped in the last two years, particularly the number of people who are unsheltered, which has fallen 14% in the county and nearly 18% in the city since 2023, data show.

The rate of unsheltered homelessness, meaning homeless people who are sleeping in places that are not meant for humans to rest in, like parks or cars, is the highest in California.

Over the last two years, the unsheltered population in the county has dropped 14%, and 17.5% in the city.
