The Regional Task Force on the Homeless’ 2019 Point-in-Time Count found the number of homeless people in San Diego County dropped by 6 percent from the previous year.
Conducted this past January, the homeless count showed that 8,102 men, women and children are living on the street or in shelters, compared to the 8,576 counted in 2018. The results, announced at a news conference Monday, are used to apply for federal funds to help local homeless people and to find solutions on how to best serve the most vulnerable in our community.
