Annual Homeless Census and Survey

Hills in Sonoma County

The Homeless Coalition for Sonoma County, Santa Rosa and Petaluma, the Department, and its partners have been required to conduct a point-in-time census of sheltered and unsheltered homeless families and individuals in the last 10 days of January in alternate (odd-numbered) years. Beginning in 2015, we began conducting a point-in-time census of sheltered and unsheltered homeless individuals and families on an annual basis.

The 2025 Homeless Point in Time Count is expected to take place on Friday, January 31st from approximately 5:00am to 10:00am.
